| Fast Facts | This species is a very hardy and excellent choice for the aggressive community aquarium. While this is a bold and predatory species, the beauty of fish like this is they're virtually indestructible require little care! It can be kept with less belligerent fishes if housed in an extra large tank, but do not keep it with fish equal to, or smaller than its own length, because it will swallow them.
