Special requirements

  • Group Living

    Fine sand is recommended to protect delicate barbels while foraging.

  • Clean Stable Water

    Requires consistently clean, well-maintained water conditions.

  • Shelter and Cover

    Provide plants, driftwood, or decorations to offer hiding spots and security.

  • Varied Diet

    Feed sinking pellets along with live or frozen foods like bloodworms and Tubifex for optimal health.

  • Breeding Setup

    Breeding can be triggered by cooler water changes; provide spawning mops or plants for egg deposition.
