- Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with other large, robust, deep-water fish that can tolerate similar cool-water conditions. Not suitable for typical reef tanks due to temperature requirements and predatory nature.
- Special requirements: Requires a very large, deep-water aquarium with excellent filtration and strong water movement. Maintaining consistently cool water temperatures is paramount.
