I keep these guys at about 68 degrees, doesn't seem to cut down on their aggression towards each other though. They can really rip each other up with their teeth! I didn't realize they had as big of teeth as they do, you can kind of see them here..
they occasionally flare at each other like this, very cichlid like
He's amazing!
I bought one by accident and returned is the next day. I thought I was buying a small native fish. The LFS actually pressured me into buying it and I fell for it. Mine was nice and red, too. If you offered it to me today, I'd pass. Not because they aren't awesome, but because my adonis has already taken the role of main pooper.
Chuatsi just gets too big for my tastes as a perch. But that is one beautiful monster right there.

I didn't either, they both had scratches between their eyes, thought it was HITH, was just from their teeth scratching each other when they would spar. Split their tank into two distinct territories and they don't fight as much any more.West1;4814407; said:Wow, didn't know they had Chops!!
I bet they eat like 40feeders a day. Last Chinese perch I had ate like a Monster... I sold one and a couple months later he actually popped on the buyer.
on the Japanese Perch
It's amazing how much they can eat, I'm pretty careful about not overfeeding them. Crazy that he popped!!
Working on J perch shots
Fully irritated here...
