| The easiest Satanoperca to keep in the aquarium. It accepts a wide variety of water conditions. It is ovophilous. There is also significant variation in color pattern depending on where the specific individual is from. Some have a pattern of faint spots on the cheek, while others do not. Satanoperca jurupari was re-described using specimens from Peru in 1986. |
