The Marleau (Atelomycterus marmoratus) is sometimes called a Coral Catshark. Typically reaching a max size of about 27.0 inches in length, the Marleau is aggressive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the evening hours or at night and less so during the day, and will hang out or do best in the lower tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is good and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Atelomycterus marmoratus should not be housed in a tank less than 100 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area, plenty of hiding places, a fine substrate, a stable cave/sheltering ledge, a well established aquarium, a strong water current, and high water quality.
