From Peru some sabre toothed Tiger Fishes of the species Hydrolycus tatauaia came to us. For the maintenance of these impressive hunters naturally roomy aquariums (> 1000l) are needed. Young specimen can be kept in swarms, in the wild even swarms of mixed species were observed. With ageing their aggression potential rises and they become increasingly territorial. In the wild they lurk behind rocks of cataracts and for hunting they dash forward as swift as an arrow to capture their victims.(Photo F. Schäfer, Text K. Diehl)
