**Care Requirements**

To ensure the health and happiness of your Two Spot Hog, it's essential to maintain optimal water conditions. They thrive in a tank with a minimum size of 50 gallons, allowing ample space for swimming and exploration. Maintain a stable water temperature between 72-78°F, pH levels of 8.1-8.4, and a specific gravity of 1.020-1.025.

The Two Spot Hog is a carnivorous species that enjoys a varied diet. Feed them a mix of high-quality frozen foods, such as mysis shrimp and brine shrimp, supplemented with marine pellets to ensure balanced nutrition.

**Reef Compatibility and Tank Mates**

The Two Spot Hog is generally considered reef-safe, making it a suitable choice for mixed reef environments. It coexists well with other peaceful fish species and can be paired with larger, non-aggressive tank mates. However, it may exhibit territorial behavior towards smaller shrimp or similar-sized fish, so caution is advised when introducing new inhabitants.

Enhance your reef aquarium with the Two Spot Hog, a vibrant and engaging fish that promises to captivate with its beauty and personality. Ideal for hobbyists seeking a colorful and active addition to their marine ecosystem, the Two Spot Hog is both a visual delight and a dynamic presence.

Feeding & Diet

An opportunistic omnivore, the Seahorse will scavenge detritus, uneaten food, and algae — making it a natural cleanup crew member. Supplement with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or pellets 2–3x per week if natural food sources are limited.

Care & Water Parameters

The Seahorse thrives in stable, well-maintained reef conditions. Target parameters: temperature 72–78°F, salinity 1.025–1.026 SG, pH 8.1–8.4, and alkalinity 8–12 dKH. A mature, established tank of at least 20 gallons is recommended.

Reef & Tank Compatibility

Generally considered reef-safe. The Seahorse coexists well with most corals and peaceful fish. Use caution with very small invertebrates or slow-moving tankmates. Provide ample rockwork and hiding spots to reduce territorial behavior.

Size & Growth

Seahorses are typically shipped at 0.5–1.5 inches. They are slow-growing and generally remain small, making them well-suited for nano and mid-size reef systems.
