Keeping Bagre Chico in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: peaceful

• Compatibility: Best kept with other peaceful, cool-water species that are not overly boisterous or large enough to prey on them. Avoid aggressive or fin-nipping species.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-oxygenated tank with strong water flow, mimicking its natural stream environment. Abundant hiding places such as smooth rocks, caves, and driftwood are essential. A fine sand or small gravel substrate is preferred for foraging.
