:They will eat anything that will halfway fit in their mouths (pretty much anything 20-30% of their size), so it is best to house them with similar sized tankmates. They can be quite sluggish, so very fast moving smaller fish like Giant Danios usually don't have problems living with this big fish. The ''D. maculatus'' spends most of it's time in the middle to lower water column, so upper column dwellers are usually okay (again, always consider speed and size). | :They will eat anything that will halfway fit in their mouths (pretty much anything 20-30% of their size), so it is best to house them with similar sized tankmates.

| − | + | |diet=:An omnivorous fish that will accept pellet and flake as well as live/frozen food like [[bloodworm]] and [[brine shrimp]]. Will also accept blanched vegetables and vegetable matter. | |

| − | + | |environment_specifics=:Although it can reach a considerable length, usually the fish remain smaller. Keep them in a spacious tank with lots of driftwood and a dark substrate, these fish may eat plants so silk plants are best. Well filtered water is necessary. The fish occur in the wild in pure fresh water and in brackish water. Adding a bit of salt to the tank can be beneficial. | |
