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.
