Keeping Tete in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: expert

• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-specific tank or with other small, peaceful, blind cave-dwelling fish that share similar environmental requirements. Avoid active or predatory tankmates.
• Special requirements: Requires a specialized aquarium setup mimicking its subterranean habitat: very dim or no lighting, fine sand or soft substrate for burrowing, numerous hiding spots (e.g., PVC pipes, smooth rocks), and excellent water quality with low flow. Feeding requires target feeding small live or frozen invertebrates.
