A tank of 30 gallons or larger is essential for the health and well-being of the Curious Wormfish. A sandy substrate is also required in order to encourage natural behaviors, such as burrowing, as well as providing a sense of security. It is also important to remember that all members of the group must be introduced at the same time. Additionally, tank mates should be selected carefully, as the Curious Wormfish is a timid species and can be vulnerable to more aggressive fish. To ensure a successful and healthy tank, it is important to provide plenty of swimming room and plenty of hiding places.

The Curious Wormfish should be fed a diet consisting primarily of fresh or frozen seafood, such as brine and mysis shrimp. This diet will provide the nutrients essential for the wormfish’s health and well-being. Additionally, it is important to vary their diet regularly to ensure a balanced and nutritious meal. By providing a diet rich in proteins, your Curious Wormfish will live a longer and healthier life. Furthermore, it is recommended that you feed your wormfish 2-3 times a day in small portions.

The approximate purchase size for these magnets is 2-1/2″ to 3-1/2″.
