Blacktip Morwong

Morwong should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of swim room. Provide an aquarium with ample rockwork, caves, cracks and crevices for hiding and grazing. A well established substrate should also be provided as Morwong will suck up substrate looking for invertebrates to consume. They should be fed a diet rich in meaty foods fed twice daily. Morwong are generally peaceful slow moving fish and should only be housed with other peaceful tank mates.
