Aquarium Information
- Care level: expert
- Temperament: semi-aggressive
- Diet: carnivore

- Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with other large, cold-water, non-aggressive fish that can tolerate similar deep-water conditions. Avoid small fish or invertebrates as they may be prey.
- Special requirements: Requires a very large, cold-water aquarium with excellent filtration and strong water movement. Mimicking deep-sea conditions with low light and plenty of rockwork for hiding is crucial. Not suitable for typical home aquariums due to its specific environmental needs and deep-water origin.
