| Feeding | Sinking pellets, live and frozen worm type foods. |
| Furniture | Bogwood is preferred to stone. |
| Compatibility | Peaceful. |
| Suggested Tankmates | Works well with most types of peaceful community fish. Can be somewhat territorial towards conspecifics, but given enough hiding spaces, a group can be kept in a suitable size aquarium - roughly requiring a 30 x 30cm area per fish. |
