Group Living
Should be kept in groups of at least 4–6 individuals to ensure natural behavior and reduce stress.
Soft Substrate
Prefers fine sand substrate to protect barbels and allow natural foraging behavior.
Clean Mature Tank
Requires a biologically mature aquarium with stable conditions and should not be added to newly set up tanks.
Flowing Water Environment
Prefers moderate water flow and well-oxygenated conditions similar to natural habitat.
Seasonal Stability
Sensitive to environmental fluctuations; stable water parameters are essential despite natural seasonal variation.
