Asian Perch Datnoid Tiger Fish Nandus Oxyrhynchus 5cm
Overview: The Asian Perch Datnoid Tiger Fish, scientifically known as Nandus Oxyrhynchus, is a stunning freshwater species revered for its vibrant markings and impressive size. Originating from Southeast Asia, these carnivorous fish exhibit striking patterns resembling a tiger, making them a captivating addition to advanced freshwater aquariums.
Origin: Native to the freshwater habitats of Southeast Asia, particularly found in rivers and streams, the Asian Perch Datnoid Tiger Fish thrives in warm, well-oxygenated waters.
Feeding: As carnivorous predators, these fish prefer live or frozen meaty foods such as small fish, shrimp, and insects. Providing a varied diet ensures their optimal health and coloration.
Tank Mates: Best suited for large, species-specific setups due to their territorial nature. Compatible tank mates include similarly sized, robust fish that can withstand their occasional aggression. However, careful selection and monitoring are crucial to prevent conflicts.

Experience Level: Recommended for experienced aquarists due to their specific care requirements, territorial behavior, and need for larger tank setups. Novice aquarists might find their care needs challenging.
Water Parameters: Maintaining stable water conditions is imperative. Aim for a pH between 6.5 to 7.5, water temperature around 75-82°F (24-28°C), and moderate hardness.
