Aquarium care:
This is not your typical bagrid who will cruise your tank at night
and have a free lunch on your tetra's on your behalf, it is a small
mid-water to bottom living species that is diurnally active, constantly
on the look out for foods such as small invertebrates, insect larvae
etc. They area little more sensitive to water conditions than its
larger relatives so weekly to two weekly water changes are a must
to keep them in good condition. It is also beneficial to keep them
in a shoal in a planted tank as they seem to prefer their own company.
You will see them sparring with each other now and again but no
damage is done. Diet: Likes all types of live food
such as Daphnia and Brine shrimp. Also small frozen bloodworm and
tubifex. Will sometimes take flake, but does prefer the aforementioned
foods. |
