Overview
Hobbyists looking for an envy-inducing oddball for the venomous aquarium will find a truly unique specimen in the Pygmy Red Rooster Waspfish.
Provide a 30-gallon or larger aquarium for the Pygmy Red Rooster Waspfish. Since they are carnivorous hunters, only house with other fish that won't make tempting prey for their large mouths.
Paracentropogon zonatus is known to adapt to prepared foods fairly well. Begin with live ghost shrimp and wean to frozen/thawed mysis shrimp.
Dorsal, pelvic, and anal spines should be avoided as they are capable of delivering a painful and potentially harmful sting.
