Special requirements
Sand Substrate
Essential for 'earth-eating' behavior. Coarse materials can damage gill filaments or cause internal damage if ingested.
Pristine Water Quality
Extremely susceptible to deteriorating water quality and chemical swings. Requires 50-70% weekly water changes and over-filtration to prevent HLLE.
Small Food Items
Large individuals cannot properly ingest big food items. Provide high-quality fine-grade prepared foods and small live/frozen invertebrates (bloodworm, Artemia).
