Predatory fish that can not be kept together with small
fishes because they think it is food. The aquarium
should be very large. The aquarium should be set up
with driftwood and roots to create hiding places. Some
hard plants can be used for decoration as well. In the
middle you should leave a lot of free swimming space.
Because they are very good jumpers you cover the aquarium
very well. A part of the water surface should be free
because they breath atmospheric air. They eat a lot so
they pollute the water very quick. So you need a
powerful filter and a regular changing of the water. You should five them large live food such as fish, shrimp and insects. Frozen and dry food is accepted as well. About breeding in the aquarium not much is known.
