Description: The Japanese Big Eye Catalufa is a fish for the hobbyist who is looking for something different. The Japanese species of Bigeye Catalufa is unique in its white striping along the body. They have large eyes adapted for its nocturnal behavior in the wild, so tanks should not be packed with decorations or rocks. They should be kept with larger peaceful fish as they will eat smaller fish. Big Eyes have a diet of large meaty food.
