Special requirements
Careful Tankmate Selection
Although generally peaceful with similarly-sized fish, it is a micro-predator and should not be kept with very tiny species that it might eat.
Blackwater Conditions
Thrives best in tannin-stained water with a sandy substrate, driftwood, and dried botanical leaves (like beech or oak).
