Behaviour & Compatibility

Can spar with one another and may rasp the sides of slow-moving companions. Avoid delicate fish and cramped housing.

Diet & Feeding

Feed vegetable-rich omnivore foods, suitable algae-based foods and small frozen invertebrates. Do not rely on algae growth alone.

Routine Care

Use a fully cycled aquarium before adding livestock. Check temperature, appetite and behaviour daily. Test water regularly: ammonia and nitrite must remain at zero. Make regular partial water changes with conditioned water matched to the aquarium's temperature and chemistry. Keep nitrate low and rinse biological filter media in removed aquarium water.
