Description

African Tiger Fish are a large and predatory species of fish. Their bodies are long, powerful and streamlined, enabling them to move with extremely fast bursts of speed when hunting prey. Tiger fish are also characterized by their proportionately large teeth. These teeth are extremely sharp and interlock with each other, enabling the tiger fish to cut through almost any kind of prey. Due to their large size and extremely aggressive temperament, they shouldn’t be kept by anyone except the most experienced aquarists.
