Aquarium Information
- Care level: expert
- Temperament: peaceful

- Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with very peaceful, similarly sized fish that can tolerate the specific water parameters. Avoid aggressive or fin-nipping species.
- Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with stable water parameters, particularly temperature. Substrate should be fine sand or gravel. Provide ample hiding spots with rocks and driftwood, and consider some hardy aquatic plants. Excellent filtration is crucial, but strong currents should be avoided. Due to its rarity and specific needs, it is not commonly available in the aquarium trade and is primarily maintained in specialized research or conservation facilities.
