Fast Facts

This larger species is very hardy and and excellent choice for an aggressive community setting. This is bold and predatory species. Do not keep it with fish equal to, or smaller than its own length, because it will swallow them. Larger specimens make great great showpieces in a large, bold comminity aquarium. Keep only one per tank unless you have a very large aquarium. Provide with structures to perch on and nooks and crannies to hide in.
