Special requirements
Mature Aquarium
Highly sensitive to fluctuating organic wastes. It must never be introduced to a biologically immature aquarium.
Blackwater Conditions
Thrives in soft, acidic water with dim lighting and dried leaf litter. For breeding, negligible carbonate hardness is required.
Careful Tankmate Selection
Due to its tiny size and specialized requirements, it is not an ideal standard community fish. Best kept in a species-only setup or with other diminutive, quiet species.
