Special requirements

  • Soft Acidic Breeding Conditions

    While adults are relatively adaptable, very soft, acidic water with negligible carbonate hardness is mandatory for eggs to develop properly.

  • Mature Aquarium

    Extremely sensitive to fluctuating organic wastes. Should only be introduced to biologically mature, long-established systems.

  • Leaf Litter & Caves

    A natural-style setup with soft sand, driftwood, and dried leaf litter is ideal for providing security, tannins, and secondary food sources for fry.
