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.
