Rocket Gar Ctenolucius Hujeta 5cm

Rocket Gar, also known as Hujeta Gar, are strikingly sleek and energetic freshwater fish. Originating from South America, these torpedo-shaped predators captivate enthusiasts with their swift movements and distinctive silver body streaked with black markings.

Origin:

Rocket Gars hail from the rivers of South America, predominantly found in the Amazon Basin. Their natural habitat consists of densely vegetated areas within slow-moving waters.

Feeding:

These carnivorous hunters thrive on a diet of live foods such as small fish, insects, and crustaceans. They have a strong preference for live prey, but some individuals may acclimate to frozen foods like bloodworms or small feeder fish.

Tank Mates:

Selecting tank mates for Rocket Gars requires caution. They can be aggressive towards smaller fish and may consider them as prey. Ideal tank companions are larger, robust fish that won’t fit in their mouth, such as larger tetras, barbs, or other medium-sized predatory fish.

Aggression:

Rocket Gars exhibit moderate to high aggression, especially during feeding times or if housed with smaller fish. They may display territorial behavior, necessitating adequate space and hiding spots within the aquarium.

Experience Level:

Caring for Rocket Gars is recommended for intermediate to experienced aquarists. Their specific dietary needs and compatibility considerations demand a good understanding of predatory fish behavior and proper tank management.

Water Parameters:

Maintaining stable water conditions is crucial. Aim for temperatures between 75-82°F (24-28°C), a pH range of 6.0-7.5, and relatively soft to moderately hard water. Adequate filtration and regular water changes are essential to ensure pristine water quality.
