Satanoperca pappaterra is a moderately peaceful cichlid suitable for community aquariums if other fish are of similar size and temperament. They are substrate sifters, often sifting through sand or fine gravel to find food, hence a soft substrate is recommended. Adequate swimming space and places to hide using roots or stones are recommended for their natural habitat replication.
