Descripción de la especie

Siniperca fortis, a member of the family Percichthyidae, is native to 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. Singly, in pairs, or as a harem — never crowded. Over-filter for its messy habits, aquascape with rock walls, and respect its claimed corner. Maintain 4–22 °C at pH 7–7.4. A rewarding species for the aquarist who reads before buying.
