− | :Central and South America: Pacific draining rivers and estuaries from Mexico to Peru. | + | |sexing=:Females are plumper than males. Breeding rare in captivity due to the size of tanks needed. |
− | + | |tank_compatibility=:When this fish is a juvenile it can be kept in [[brackish]] conditions with other larger brackish fish such as the [[Mono]]. As it matures it needs to be in full Marine, and can be kept with large semi-aggressive Marine fish, but bear in mind that this fish can swallow up 67% its body length! These fish prefer to be in groups of 4 or more. | |
