The Dash-dot Goatfish (Parupeneus barberinus) is sometimes called a Dash-and-dot Goatfish. It belongs to the family named Mullidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 10.0 inches in length, the Dash-dot Goatfish is passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the substrate. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Parupeneus barberinus should not be housed in a tank less than 55 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area and extra substrate area.
