Stonecat Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Stonecat in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 50 gallons
• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with other robust, bottom-dwelling fish of similar size that can tolerate cooler, well-oxygenated water. Avoid housing with very small fish or invertebrates as they may be preyed upon.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-oxygenated tank with strong current, ample hiding places (rocks, caves, driftwood), and a substrate of sand or fine gravel. Nocturnal, so dim lighting or shaded areas are beneficial. Excellent filtration is crucial due to their carnivorous diet.
