Scleropages leichardti

Scleropages leichardti, commonly known as the Southern Saratoga, is a solitary and aggressive species, best housed individually or with extremely large tank mates. It is a surface-dweller and requires a secure tank cover to prevent jumping. The Southern Saratoga is a carnivorous species, feeding primarily on fish and crustaceans in the wild, and may require a varied diet including pellets, prawns, and fish fillets in captivity. It's a popular choice among experienced aquarists for its beauty and unique spotted pattern, though its aggressive nature requires careful management.
