| + | |origin=:Endemic to India. | ||
| + | |sexing=:Male has a broader head from a birds-eye-view. Males also have a higher dorsal arch with a broader blue band on the dorsal fin. | ||
| + | |tank_compatibility=:This species is best kept alone; either as a single fish or a pair. Because of their size and aggression, as well as being sub-tropical, tank mates are not recommended. | ||
| + | |diet=:In the wild, these fish are primarily insectivores. Their diet should consist of mealworms, crickets, beetles, etc., but baby crayfish, small snails, krill, will help to round out the diet. | ||
| − | = | + | |feeding_regime=:In the warmer seasons, feeding two to three times per week should be plenty. In the cooler months, feeding once every week or two will be fine. |
| − | + | |environment_specifics=:These fish are sub-tropical. They require a winter season reaching around {{f|62|65}} and a summer season reaching around {{f|80|82}}. If kept at tropical temperatures all year round, they often become fat and develop cloudy eyes and fungus. Gill problems are common as well. | |

:A sandy substrate is better than gravel as this fish tends to like digging in the aquarium. For this reason plants should be suitably weighed down or the roots covered with stones to prevent being uprooted. [[Bogwood]] and smooth stones also make for nice features. | :A sandy substrate is better than gravel as this fish tends to like digging in the aquarium.
