Questions on keeping waspfish

[ShiRei]

I saw a couple of waspfish housed together with malayan halfbeaks in Rainbow.They look really cute, like mini groupers.Any idea how to keep them? Not much information on the internet on these fishes.

It's hard to tell what fish you are having just by the common name, because that name is used on a number of species.

An educated guess would be the Neovespicula depressifrons, which seems to be the most common in trade. I hope you know what you are dealing with because this group of fish (waspfish) has venomous spines on their fins.

They are brackish water predatory species (small fish are at risk), probably won't take to dry processed food, so you need to feed frozen or live food.
