Aquarium Information

• Care level: beginner
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 10 gallons (38 liters)
• Compatibility: Excellent with other peaceful, small to medium-sized community fish. Avoid housing with aggressive or very large fish that might prey on them. Good tankmates include small tetras, rasboras, dwarf cichlids, and other peaceful bottom dwellers.
• Special requirements: Requires a soft, sandy substrate for burrowing, plenty of hiding places (driftwood, rocks, dense planting), and subdued lighting. They are social fish and should be kept in groups of at least 6-10 individuals to encourage natural behavior and reduce shyness. Good water quality is essential.
