Aquarium Information

  • Care level: advanced
  • Temperament: aggressive
  • Diet: carnivore
  • Minimum tank size: 180 gallons (680 liters)
  • 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.
