Climbing Perch Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Climbing Perch in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 30 gallons
• Compatibility: Best kept alone or with robust, similarly sized, and semi-aggressive fish. Avoid small, docile, or long-finned tank mates.
• Special requirements: Requires a tightly secured lid as they are escape artists. Provide plenty of hiding spots with plants and decor. A shallow water area or access to land is not necessary in an aquarium but reflects their natural behavior. Good filtration is essential.
