Japanese Perch

Norbert · Feb 3, 2011

Lates japonicus
Just one shot of him so far..

cute little fella, I kind of like his bent dorsal spine

What temp is everyone else keeping theirs at? I've heard they are a cooler water fish but haven't heard a specific temp?

Thanks, they get 3ft + in the wild but 2ft is probably more likely in captivity
