Comprehensive Care Instructions for Indonesian Tigerfish
Diet:
Main Diet: The Indonesian Tigerfish is carnivorous and will thrive on a diet of high-protein pellets, small fish, and live or frozen foods such as shrimp and worms.
Feeding Tips: Feed your fish once or twice a day, offering only as much food as it can consume in a few minutes. Be sure to remove uneaten food to maintain water quality.
Tank Setup & Size:
Tank Size: A minimum 75-gallon tank is recommended, but larger tanks are ideal for the Indonesian Tigerfish. The fish requires ample space for swimming and roaming, and a larger tank helps prevent territorial disputes.
Tank Setup: Provide plenty of hiding spots using rocks, plants, and driftwood to simulate its natural environment. The tank should have strong filtration and good water movement to keep the fish active and healthy.
Water Quality & Temperature:
Temperature: Maintain the water temperature between 24-30°C (75-86°F) to keep the Indonesian Tigerfish active and healthy.
Water pH: The pH should remain between 6.5 and 7.5 for optimal health.
Water Changes: Perform regular water changes (20-30% weekly) to maintain high water quality and ensure the fish remains healthy.
Socialization:
Behavior: While peaceful, the Indonesian Tigerfish can be territorial. It should be kept with other large, non-aggressive fish that won't encroach on its space. Smaller or overly territorial species may cause stress.
Tankmates: Ideal tankmates include large, peaceful fish like plecos, large cichlids, or other slow-moving species. Avoid aggressive or overly territorial species to maintain harmony in the tank.
Health Care:
Common Diseases: Watch for signs of parasites or stress-related illnesses. Regularly monitor water quality and temperature, as poor conditions can lead to Ich, skin lesions, or other issues.
Grooming: The Indonesian Tigerfish does not require grooming, but regular maintenance of the tank, including cleaning and water changes, is essential to keeping the fish healthy.
