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.
