Banded scat Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Banded scat in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 150 gallons (570 liters)
• Compatibility: Can be kept with other robust, semi-aggressive to aggressive brackish or marine fish of similar size. Avoid keeping with very small or timid species. Best kept in groups of 3 or more to diffuse aggression.
• Special requirements: Requires a large tank with ample swimming space and hiding spots. Excellent filtration is crucial due to their messy eating habits. As they mature, they prefer higher salinity, eventually requiring full marine conditions. A varied diet is essential for their health and coloration.
