Inhabiting streams or lakes, they prefer a sandy substrate with highly eutrophic water quality. They are carnivorous, feeding on other fish, crustaceans, and invertebrates, and are very territorial, nipping at other fish, and they usually don't like it when other fish disturb their retreat. Coupled with their huge size, it is best not to mix fish of the same species unless the fish with which it is mixed is significantly larger than it. After all, they are strong, killer fish.
