Hogfish is more and more available. A real hardy species; but be
forewarned, it is a real pig, getting big fast (to two and a
half feet in length) from eating most all the food you can provide.

Lachnolaimus maximus growth - 12/6/07
Hi Robert
<Sorry, Lynn
here this morning!>
I read that Lachnolaimus maximus are slow
growers, but how slow is slow?
<Actually, they can grow fairly
quickly.>
How long does it take to attain 15 inches?
<Depends on
how well fed they are. Please see this link (and related links above)
for more info re: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/lachnolaimus.htm >
Thanks
<You're very welcome. -Lynn> Cuban Hogfish
behavior
Hello
I have had a 120 saltwater fish only tank going
for about a year now. I have a lionfish, Foxface and a Cuban
hogfish. I just recently purchased the hog a couple of days ago from my
LFS. He Lays on the sand in the corner but when someone goes into that
room he comes up swims around and acts normal.
I have been feeding
him a variety frozen prepared twice a day. Is laying down on the sand
for a while normal for a Cuban hogfish? Do you think I should be feeding
him more often?
<Likely normal, you can read about how they are when
introduced on WetWebMedia.com (look up Cuban Hogfish). As long as he
recognizes you and reacts when you come in the room he is likely
alright. I wouldn't feed any more often than you are. Craig>
