Special requirements

  • Mature Aquarium

    Highly intolerant to the accumulation of organic pollutants; requires spotless water with weekly water changes and must never be introduced to a biologically immature tank.

  • Leaf Litter & Botanicals

    Benefits greatly from dried leaf litter and wood to simulate its natural blackwater habitat, providing beneficial tannins and a secondary food source.

  • Dim Lighting

    Shows its best colors and feels most secure under relatively dim lighting with shade-tolerant or floating plants.
