Keeping Rohu Carp in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

  • Care level: intermediate
  • Temperament: peaceful
  • Diet: omnivore
  • Minimum tank size: 250 gallons (for juveniles, much larger for adults)
  • Compatibility: Generally peaceful with other large, non-aggressive fish. Avoid very small tank mates as they might be accidentally consumed by larger Rohu.
  • Special requirements: Requires a very large tank with ample swimming space. Good filtration is essential due to their size and waste production. Provide a substrate of sand or fine gravel and some smooth rocks or driftwood for enrichment. They are schooling fish, so keeping them in groups of 3-5 is ideal, though this necessitates an even larger tank.
