Artübersicht

Coreoperca whiteheadi is a Percichthyidae from China. A thinking fish that rearranges décor and learns its keeper — and punishes bare, crowded tanks. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 16.4–24 cm. A pair claims a territory; give each a defensible cave. Over-filter for its messy habits, aquascape with rock walls, and respect its claimed corner. Maintain 10–23 °C at pH 7–7.4. A rewarding species for the aquarist who reads before buying.
