Special requirements

  • Driftwood & Hiding Places

    Driftwood is essential for providing hiding spaces to reduce stress and serves as a vital substrate for egg-laying during breeding.

  • High Aeration

    Requires an environment with high oxygen levels and steady water movement to mimic its natural river habitat.

  • Supplemental Feeding

    While they graze on algae and leftovers, they should be supplemented with high-quality algae wafers and plant-based foods to ensure proper nutrition.
