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.
