Satanoperca french is known for its peaceful demeanor, making it an excellent candidate for community tanks with other non-aggressive species. These fish exhibit interesting substrate-sifting behavior common to geophagines and will search for food by passing substrate through their gills. Aquarists are advised to provide a sandy substrate and avoid sharp decorations as these can harm the fish.
