Keeping Cambodian Garra in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

  • Care level: intermediate
  • Temperament: semi-aggressive
  • Diet: omnivore
  • Minimum tank size: 75 gallons (280 liters)
  • Compatibility: Best kept with other robust, fast-moving fish that can tolerate similar water conditions. Can be territorial with conspecifics, especially in smaller tanks. Avoid very docile or long-finned species.
  • Special requirements: Requires a well-oxygenated tank with strong water flow to mimic its natural riverine habitat. Abundant smooth rocks and driftwood for grazing and hiding are essential. A tight-fitting lid is recommended as they can jump.
