Special requirements

  • Pristine Water Quality

    Susceptible to deteriorating water quality and HLLE (Head and Lateral Line Erosion). Requires a mature, over-filtered aquarium with 50-70% weekly water changes.

  • Low Flow Environment

    Prefers slow-moving or still water. High filter flow rates should be avoided by positioning returns appropriately.

  • Structured Decor

    Benefits from a well-structured substrate including submerged driftwood, roots, and flat water-worn rocks for potential spawning sites.
