Keeping Gotyla Garra in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

  • Diet: omnivore
  • Minimum tank size: 75 gallons (280 liters)
  • Compatibility: Generally peaceful and can be kept with other similarly sized, non-aggressive fish. Avoid very slow-moving or long-finned tank mates as they might be nipped. Best kept in groups of 3-5 individuals.
  • Special requirements: Requires a well-oxygenated tank with strong water flow to mimic its natural riverine habitat. Abundant smooth rocks and driftwood should be provided for grazing and hiding. A mature tank with established biofilm is crucial for their diet. Sensitive to poor water quality.
