| − | == Sexing ==
| |
| − | :Has not been determined. There's been speculated that the degree of cirri (hairiness) is a help of determining the sex, but there is no real evidence this is correct.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Tank compatibility ==
| |
| − | :Best kept in species tanks with no other fish. Will eat fish and attack any invertebrates. May leave top-dwelling fast-swimming fish alone, but risky.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Diet ==
| |
| − | :Feed mussels, earthworms, shrimp, [[bloodworm]]s, crayfish, snails. Live food and frozen food should be accepted.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |

| − | == Feeding regime ==
| |

| |

| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Environment specifics ==
| |
| − | :Appreciates a Sandy substrate With lots of hiding places. Sensitive to water quality issues, regular water changes are a must. Only keep in a fully cycled tank, [[ammonia]] and [[nitrite]] should be 0. They are messy eaters, over filtration is highly recommended.

| |
| − | == Behaviour ==
| |
| − | :An inactive lurker though very aggressive. This species will be hiding for most of the day. Most activity is seen around feeding time.
