| − | :Males are larger and longer while females are shorter and more bulky. | + | |diet=:An exclusive carnivore, with a only a stomach to digest protein, thereby lacking intestines to digest carbohydrates, etc. Protein takes a very long time to be completely digested. Prefers scaleless benthic fish (eg. juvenile ''Clarias spp.'') & earthworms to crustaceans/spiny fish. |

| − | + | |environment_specifics=:The aquarium should be dimly lit or by utilising floating plants. It should be spacious and well-filtered with plenty of hiding places. | |
| − | + | |behaviour=:Sedentary & prefers to remain motionless/camouflaged. Nocturnal & somewhat photophobic. An ambush predator with excellent camouflage, rendering it almost invisible in the right setting. Predatory, mainly piscivorous, living off benthic fish that wander to close within it's mouth. Can swallow prey almost as long as itself, but is not aggressive nor territorial by nature. Solitary creatures. | |
