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.
