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.
