The Manybar Goatfish is a striking and active bottom-dwelling fish recognized by the numerous vertical bars covering its silver-white body. As it matures, its coloration becomes more vibrant, making it an attractive addition to large marine aquariums. Like other members of the goatfish family, it uses the pair of sensitive barbels beneath its chin to search the sand for food, bringing constant movement and natural behavior to the aquarium.
An established 180 gallon or larger aquarium with plenty of open swimming space, a sandy substrate, and rockwork providing a few hiding places is recommended. Juvenile Manybar Goatfish spend much of their time sifting through the sand in search of small invertebrates, while larger specimens may prey upon small crustaceans, worms, and small fish. Goatfish are best housed with peaceful to semi-aggressive tank mates.
The diet should consist of a variety of meaty foods. Due to their fast metabolism, Manybar Goatfish should be fed four to five times daily.
