Australian Salmon Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Australian Salmon in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: expert
• Temperament: aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: Not suitable for home aquaria due to size, schooling behavior, and pelagic nature. Requires extremely large public aquarium exhibits.
• Compatibility: Only compatible with very large, robust marine fish in extremely large public aquaria. Not suitable for typical community tanks.
• Special requirements: Requires immense space, strong filtration, high oxygenation, and a constant supply of live or fresh dead fish/squid. Schooling species, so multiple individuals are needed, further increasing space requirements. Extremely difficult to maintain in captivity.
