Aquarium Information

• Care level: beginner
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 20 gallons (75 liters)
• Compatibility: Excellent for community tanks with other peaceful, similarly sized fish such as tetras, rasboras, dwarf gouramis, and other small, non-aggressive cichlids. Avoid housing with overly boisterous or aggressive species.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots created by driftwood, rocks, and caves. A soft, sandy substrate is preferred as they enjoy sifting through it. Good water quality with regular partial water changes is essential. They appreciate subdued lighting.
