Common name: Sand Divers

Trichonotidae, commonly known as Sand Divers, are a family of marine fish found in sandy environments of the Indo-Pacific region. They are characterized by their elongated bodies and ability to burrow into the sand to escape predators. In the aquarium, they require a sandy substrate to exhibit natural behaviors. These fish are generally peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive species. They are not common in the aquarium trade but can be fascinating additions for experienced hobbyists looking to replicate a biotope aquarium.
