Aquarium Information

• Minimum tank size: 1000 gallons (for adult specimens)
• Compatibility: Compatible with other large, robust, and fast-moving fish that cannot be swallowed. Not suitable for community tanks with smaller or docile species.
• Special requirements: Requires extremely large tanks with powerful filtration due to its size and waste production. Needs ample swimming space and a secure lid as they are known jumpers. Can be skittish and prone to injury if startled. Often sold as small juveniles, leading to impulse purchases by inexperienced aquarists who are unprepared for their adult size.
