How to keep Neoceratodus

The life span of Neoceratodus is approximately 90-100 years. Their body size is also about 90-100 cm. However, both lifespan and body size vary depending on the environment in which they are kept and the food they are fed. They prefer slightly acidic to neutral water, and especially prefer a pH of 6.5 to 7.5. Neoceratodus is classified as a tropical fish, so it requires a heater in winter if kept in Japan.

Regarding mixed swimming, Neoceratodus is a docile fish. However, if Neokeratodus is mixed with an aggressive species, there is a high possibility that a fight will occur. Therefore, the recommended species to mix with Neoceratodus is a species that swims in low water, such as pleco.Neoceratodus is a carnivore, so if you mix smaller individuals than Neoceratodus, they often recognize them as food and eat them, so be careful about the size of the species you mix.

What to look for when keeping Neoceratodus.

Neoceratodus is a member of the lungfish family, which, along with coelacanths and others, is said to be descended from the time when dinosaurs lived. Therefore, they are able to breathe with oxygen from the air (air-breathing). However, compared to other lungfish such as Protopterus, they are less capable of air-breathing and rely almost entirely on their gills for respiration. Therefore, care must be taken to avoid oxygen deprivation if the oxygen level in the water decreases.Neoceratodus is rarely available to the general public because of its long life span and because it is extremely rare and expensive. Therefore, they are often kept in specialized facilities such as aquariums. However, there are a small number of ordinary people who keep them in captivity. If you are interested in Neoceratodus, we recommend that you take a look at them at an aquarium.
