Special requirements

  • Mature Aquarium

    Intolerant to the accumulation of organic pollutants; requires spotless water with weekly water changes and must never be introduced to a biologically immature tank.

  • Leaf Litter & Botanicals

    Benefits from dried leaf litter and wood to simulate its natural habitat, providing shade, secondary food sources for fry, and beneficial tannins.

  • Dim Lighting

    Does best under relatively dim lighting and highly appreciates the addition of floating vegetation to help diffuse the light.
