Looking for a vibrant and eye-catching addition to your aquarium? The Striped or Candy Cane Squirrelfish are the perfect choice! With their bright red bodies and horizontal white stripes, these fish are sure to captivate attention. Growing up to 7 inches in size, Candy Cane Squirrelfish thrive in tanks that are at least 100 gallons in size, and can be kept in smaller groups in large aquariums.

They are generally peaceful, but caution should be taken in reef tanks as they may eat small invertebrates. These nocturnal fish require plenty of live rock for hiding during the day and come out at night to search for small invertebrates to eat. Feeding them a diet rich in meaty foods like mysis, brine shrimp, and fresh seafood will keep them healthy and happy in your aquarium. If you're looking for a stunning addition to your tank, Candy Cane Squirrelfish are an excellent choice!
