Common name: Squirrelfish

Sargocentron is a genus of fish commonly known as Squirrelfish or Soldierfish. These nocturnal species are characterized by their large eyes, which aid in night feeding, and their vibrant red coloration. They are generally peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish. Squirrelfish are known for their ability to produce sounds through their swim bladders, which they use for communication. They prefer reef environments with plenty of hiding places and are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of meaty foods and some plant matter.
