Special requirements

  • Established Setup

    Requires an established aquarium of at least 10 gallons with plenty of hiding places and a mature substrate.

  • Breeding Care

    If breeding, move the egg-carrying female to a separate tank. Once hatched, return the female to the main tank and feed larvae newly hatched brine shrimp or liquid food.

  • Tank Mates

    Should only be housed with small, peaceful fish to ensure they are not viewed as a food source.
