They get big, best kept 1 to a tank, and they can be quite aggressive but as with other fish people will have different experience depending on different set ups.

They are large and predatory. Any fish you kept with them would need to be fairly large and would still be hit or miss based on the individual.

They also need a large tank.

Is a 165L tank good enough for a pair?

It depends on the dimensions but you would want a tank about twice that size or bigger.

This species is best known for playing dead to ambush small fish that it feeds on.
