Aquarium Information

- Compatibility: Can be kept with other robust, similarly sized fish. Avoid very small or docile tank mates as they may be preyed upon or harassed. Best kept in a species-specific tank or with other semi-aggressive, fast-moving fish.
- Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of swimming space and rockwork for shelter. Good water quality and strong filtration are essential. May jump, so a secure lid is necessary. Can tolerate brackish conditions, but typically kept in marine aquariums.
