Current taxonomy places the supplier Hemiarius dioctes in Aceroichthys. The nominal species occurs in Australia and New Guinea, with freshwater and brackish records. Published standard lengths can exceed a metre, making the 10-15 cm delivery grade an early housing consideration rather than a small adult promise. The actual collecting station and sex are unspecified.
Confirm measured holding salinity, temperature and water chemistry before transfer. Prepare mature filtered housing with substantial adult swimming space and an established feeding regimen. Freshwater and brackish occurrence records do not prescribe a salinity for this particular lot; avoid changing salinity solely because it belongs to the sea-catfish family. Confirm an appropriate adult diet and companion plan for this very large, strongly toothed fish before ordering.
