Care notes
Despite name, requires brackish water (1.005–1.020) for long-term health. Nocturnal ambush predator. Notorious escape artist; absolutely sealed lid required.
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
