Kuhlia mugil is a captivating marine fish prized for its distinctive silver body and bold black markings. This large variant is best suited for experienced hobbyists who can provide the space and care it requires.
Temperament and Compatibility: Generally peaceful, Kuhlia mugil coexists well with other non-aggressive species. Avoid housing with very small or timid fish to prevent stress. It is compatible with many community marine setups but should not be kept with overly aggressive tankmates.
Diet: Omnivorous by nature, Kuhlia mugil thrives on a varied diet including high-quality frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. Supplement with marine flake or pellet foods to ensure balanced nutrition.
Tank Requirements: Due to its size and active swimming behaviour, a minimum tank size of 180 litres (approximately 50 gallons) is recommended. Provide ample open swimming space along with some rockwork or caves for shelter.
Water Parameters: Maintain stable marine conditions with temperature between 22-26°C, salinity at 1.020-1.025 SG, and pH 8.1-8.4. Moderate water flow and good filtration are essential to keep water quality high.
Origin: Not Provided.
