Artübersicht

Siniperca scherzeri is a Percichthyidae from 中国. A thinking fish that rearranges décor and learns its keeper — and punishes bare, crowded tanks. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 28–41.1 cm. Pairs or harems in tanks with broken sightlines. Over-filter for its messy habits, aquascape with rock walls, and respect its claimed corner. Maintain 4–22 °C at pH 7–7.4. Undemanding once its core needs are met.
