Special requirements
Clean, Oxygenated Water
Native to moderate/fast-flowing streams. High water quality and dissolved oxygen levels are mandatory for this species to thrive.
Vegetable Matter Diet
While omnivorous, they require regular vegetable matter (Spirulina). High-protein diets should be avoided to prevent digestive issues.
Breeding Territory
Though peaceful, they are territorial when breeding. Provide caves or flat rocks. In small tanks, a pair may require the removal of other conspecifics.
