Aquarium Information

- Compatibility: Not suitable for community tanks. Best kept in a species-specific tank or with very large, robust, and non-aggressive fish that cannot be swallowed. Will eat any fish or invertebrate that fits into its mouth.
- Special requirements: Requires a well-established tank with plenty of live rock or artificial decor for camouflage and perching. Excellent filtration is essential due to its carnivorous diet. Needs a secure lid as they can occasionally attempt to 'walk' out of the tank. Live food is often required, at least initially.
