This species is a cave dweller which does not fair well with agressive tankmates. There are section of algae near the cheeks that glow green at night while they hunt for food. It can be weined off of live food but is very difficult. |

The Pineapple Fish (Cleidopus gloriamaris) belongs to the family named Monocentridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 9.0 inches in length, the Pineapple Fish is passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the evening hours or at night and less so during the day, and will hang out or do best in the lower tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Cleidopus gloriamaris should not be housed in a tank less than 55 gallons in sizeand in general should have low (2 watts/gallon) light to thrive. 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 a stable cave/sheltering ledge and keep 3 or more.
