Special requirements
Barbel Protection
Requires a smooth sand or fine gravel substrate to prevent damage to their sensitive and easily injured barbels.
Social Schooling
Highly social species that must be kept in a group of six or more to ensure proper health and natural behavior.
Lighting and Cover
Requires a well-planted aquarium with plenty of caves or hiding places to provide relief from bright aquarium lighting.
Post-Spawn Care
For successful breeding, adults must be separated from the eggs immediately after spawning to prevent them from eating the clutch.
