 Husbandry Information |
|
|---|---|
| Feeding | A smaller carnivore, feed meaty or flake based tablets and pellets, frozen bloodworm or brineshrimp and chopped molluscs. |
| Furniture | The Rio Xingú is full of rocks of many sizes with some fine sand between them. The secretive species should have plenty rocks to scuttle under, bogwood and plants are not required, the latter are however left entirely unmolested. |

| Suggested Tankmates | Does well with most fish |
| Breeding | Unreported. |
