Special requirements
Sand Substrate
A fine, sandy substrate is absolutely vital for good health, allowing them to perform their natural sand-sifting behaviors.
Mature Aquarium
Highly sensitive to fluctuating organic wastes and should never be introduced to a biologically immature aquarium.
Leaf Litter & Caves
Requires structured décor with caves, roots, and dried leaf litter to provide security, spawning sites, and beneficial tannins mimicking their native blackwater pools.
