CIRRHITIDAE

These generally live in shallow coastal waters. In
captivity, they prefer to share with peaceful
fish that do not penetrate into their strictly
demarcated territory.

Oxycirrhites typus
The longnose hawk, a delicate species to keep, is suitable for an
invertebrate tank. It accepts brine shrimps, then small animal
foodstuffs appropriate to the size of its mouth. It is rarely captured
or imported. Size: 10 cm.
