Aquarium Information

  • Care level: expert
  • Temperament: peaceful
  • Diet: carnivore
  • Minimum tank size: 1000 gallons (3785 liters) for a single adult
  • Compatibility: Generally peaceful with other large, non-aggressive fish that will not harass it. Avoid housing with aggressive species or those small enough to be considered prey. Requires a very large tank with ample open sand space.
  • Special requirements: Requires a very large, mature aquarium with a deep sand bed (at least 10-15 cm) for burrowing. Excellent filtration and stable water parameters are crucial. Live sand and live rock are beneficial for maintaining water quality and providing enrichment. Due to its venomous tail spine, extreme caution is required during handling and tank maintenance. Not recommended for typical home aquarists due to size and specialized care needs.
