Aquarium Information

  • Care level: expert
  • Temperament: aggressive
  • Diet: carnivore
  • Minimum tank size: 500 gallons (1893 liters)
  • Compatibility: Not suitable for most community tanks. Can be kept with other large, aggressive fish of similar size, but often best kept alone or in very large, species-specific displays. Will consume smaller tank mates.
  • Special requirements: Requires a very large aquarium with ample rockwork for hiding and territorial establishment. Excellent filtration is essential due to their large size and messy eating habits. A secure lid is necessary as they are known jumpers. Not recommended for the home aquarium due to conservation status and size requirements.
