This species is known for swallowing prey almost as large as itself – a spectacular behavior that makes it so popular among experienced aquarists. Despite its fearsome appearance, it is a calm, rather passive ambush predator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"678\" data-end=\"1044\"\u003eAsterophysus batrachus prefers quiet, dimly lit aquariums with ample hiding places and an open substrate area. Since it eats anything that fits into its mouth, solitary keeping or cohabitation with very large, robust fish is necessary. Its robust nature makes it easy to care for, but it is clearly suited for advanced keepers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1046\" data-end=\"1401\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1046\" data-end=\"1064\"\u003eCare Data:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1067\"\u003eMaximum size: approx. 30–35 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1089\" data-end=\"1092\"\u003eOrigin: South America (Orinoco, Rio Negro)\u003cbr data-start=\"1133\" data-end=\"1136\"\u003eTemperature: 24–28 °C\u003cbr data-start=\"1156\" data-end=\"1159\"\u003epH value: 5.5–7.2\u003cbr data-start=\"1175\" data-end=\"1178\"\u003eTotal hardness: soft to medium hard\u003cbr data-start=\"1211\" data-end=\"1214\"\u003eSocial behavior: Solitary, eats smaller fish whole\u003cbr data-start=\"1279\" data-end=\"1282\"\u003eAquarium size: from 150cm edge length, hiding places + dim lighting\u003cbr data-start=\"1335\" data-end=\"1338\"\u003eFood: predatory – fish, shrimp, larger frozen food types\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AquariumAquaristik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53562658324813,"sku":null,"price":94.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5755\/7325\/files\/27871_8560ca5eb3ddef9e9d5c6e5bacc86212.jpg?v=1773957535","url":"https:\/\/aquaexotica.de\/en\/products\/oger-wels-asterophysus-batrachus","provider":"AquaExotica","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
