It should be well filtered but not have too much current. They are unfussy with décor as long as there's somewhere to hide such as amongst [[bogwood]]. All décor must be very securely in place to stop the fish knocking anything around. They do not appreciate very bright lights. It must be able to access the surface to breath air, but does not require it to breath. Lids must be heavy and secure to prevent escapes. |

:Their body is elongated and heavy with deep olive-brown colouration and large scales, the belly is pale. The head is broad with a large mouth and the pectoral and anal fins are adapted to enable the fish to "walk" over land. The dorsal fin is absent. The caudal is large, powerful and primitive-looking. It almost looks amphibian. | :Their body is elongated and heavy with deep olive-brown colouration and large scales, the belly is pale.
