Aquarium Information

• Care level: expert
• Temperament: aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 1000 gallons (for juveniles, significantly larger for adults)
• Compatibility: Not suitable for most home aquariums due to its large size, predatory nature, and schooling behavior. Can be kept with other very large, robust, and equally aggressive fish in public aquariums.
• Special requirements: Requires an extremely large, public aquarium-sized tank with strong filtration and ample swimming space. Diet should consist of a variety of fresh, high-quality marine fish, squid, and crustaceans. Juveniles may adapt to prepared foods, but adults require live or fresh whole prey. Prone to stress in inadequate environments.
