− | :Females have longer, more rounded [[pelvic]] fins than males. | + | |tank_compatibility=:Should only be kept with similar sized fish or larger, smaller fish may be seen as prey. Good tank mates are [[Mullet]]s (''[[Mugil]] sp.'') [[Scat]]s (''[[Scatophagus argus]]'' and other species, and ''[[Selenotoca multifasciata]]'') and [[Mono]]s (''[[Monodactylus argenteus]]'' and ''[[Monodactylus sebae]]''), but they enjoy conspecific company and are best kept in a small group of 4 - 6 in a large [[species tank]]. |
− | + | |diet=:Will accept most foods including good quality pellet and flake as well as live/frozen food such as [[bloodworm]]. Fresh chunks of meat, fish and prawns are good but live food is even better. Some specimens are too slow to catch live prey. | |

− | + | |identification=:Has an elongate shark-like body with a forked [[caudal]] and tall [[dorsal]] fin. Similar to ''[[Neoarius berneyi]]'' but the eyes are smaller and the dorsal is slightly shorter. The colour is generally a deep grey-silver with a pale underside, the [[barbels]] are also lighter in colour. The caudal fin is edged in black. Piebald and albino variations have been seen. | |
