Special requirements

• Group Living

  Should be kept in groups of at least 4–6 individuals to reduce stress and display natural behavior.

• Soft Substrate

  Requires fine sand substrate to protect barbels and allow natural foraging behavior.

• Leaf Litter & Cover

  Prefers aquariums with driftwood, roots, and leaf litter to replicate natural habitat and provide security.

• Clean Water Conditions

  Sensitive to poor water quality. Requires regular maintenance and stable parameters.

• Breeding Conditions

  Spawning can be triggered by cooler water changes and increased oxygenation. Eggs should be protected from fungus and predation.
