Special requirements
Large Tank Space
Requires a spacious aquarium due to its size and territorial tendencies, especially among males.
Soft Substrate
Prefers fine sand substrate to protect sensitive barbels and support natural foraging behavior.
High Quality Live Diet
Often reluctant to accept dried foods and requires live or frozen foods, especially during acclimation.
Clean and Stable Water
Requires excellent water quality and stable parameters for long-term health.
Careful Social Grouping
Males can be aggressive, especially during breeding, so tank mates and grouping must be managed carefully.
