Indian Leaffish Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Indian Leaffish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 75 gallons (280 liters)
• Compatibility: Best kept alone or with very robust, similarly sized, and fast-moving fish that cannot be swallowed. Not suitable for community tanks with smaller or docile species.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-planted tank with plenty of hiding spots, driftwood, and leaf litter to mimic its natural environment and facilitate its ambush hunting style. Good filtration is essential, but strong currents should be avoided. Live food is often preferred, and sometimes necessary, to initiate feeding.
