Special requirements
High Filtration Needs
Requires strong filtration to ensure proper health, as they inhabit clean, well-oxygenated waters in the wild.
Dense Vegetation
Replicating their natural Amazonian habitat requires a well-planted aquarium with plenty of driftwood for cover.
Targeted Feeding
While they scavenge leftovers, they must be offered supplemental foods like sinking carnivore pellets or frozen bloodworms to ensure proper nutrition.
Massive Spawning Potential
Pairs are known to produce exceptionally large clutches, ranging from 900 to 1,100 eggs, which are deposited individually on various surfaces.
