Like all of our freshwater livestock, it is farm-raised and shipped well-acclimated to aquarium life. Care: Temperament is predatory. Provide an aquarium of 75 gallons or larger with a tight-fitting lid. Water parameters: 75-82 F, pH 6.5-7.5. Diet: carnivore - frozen foods, krill, carnivore pellets, earthworms. This fish accepts prepared foods readily, and we recommend feeding a varied staple diet. A pale golden-white living fossil with lung-like organs that gulps air at the surface. They are escape artists and will eat any fish that fits their mouth - keep only with large tankmates.
