One of the best Hogfish for the reef tank. Beautiful, small and hardy. This hogfish adapts quickly to aquarium life and can be an active addition to most setups. They prefer deeper tanks as they are more comfortable in lower light environemnts. The only real negative is, as they grow older, some may become a little aggresive towards more passive tankmates. So, keep an eye out for this. |

The Twinspot Hogfish (Bodianus bimaculatus) is sometimes called a Twospot Hogfish or a Yellow Hogfish. It belongs to the family named Labridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.8 inches in length, the Twinspot Hogfish is semi-aggressive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Bodianus bimaculatus should not be housed in a tank less than 30 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 plenty of hiding places.
