Sea Robins are quite rare in the trade, but every now and then one will show up. This is quite a bizarre animal. It is a fish that looks like a bird and it "walks" along the sand with its free pectoral fins. It will eat anything it can fit into its mouth. |

The Sea Robin (Prionotus sp.) belongs to the family named Triglidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 12.0 inches in length, the Sea Robin is aggressive 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. Prionotus sp. should not be housed in a tank less than 100 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 substrate area.
