Aquarium Information

• Care level: beginner
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 20 gallons (75 liters) for a group of 6-8 individuals

• Special requirements: Requires a soft, sandy substrate to protect their delicate barbels, as they use them extensively for foraging. Provide plenty of hiding places with driftwood, caves, and dense planting. Good water quality with regular partial water changes is essential. They are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least 6 individuals to ensure their well-being and natural behavior.
