Cockatoo Waspfish (Ablabys taenianotus)

The Waspfish is an aggressive fish. They can reach up to 6.9 inches and will require an aquarium of at least 20 gallons with plenty of hiding spaces. They are not considered reef safe as they will eat anything that will fit in their mouths and that includes smaller fish. They like to eat so feeding them multiple times a day is necessary. Do not be concerned if they do not eat right away. Give them a few days to adjust to the new environment. You can try and start out target feed them. They are venomous and should not be handled with bare hands. An aquarium should only have one male and they will be very aggressive towards each other.

This fish is guaranteed for live arrival.
