Peaceful fish that you can keep together with large
cichlids. It is not wise to keep them with small fish
because they think it is food. They are nocturnal
animals and they are barely seen in daytime. The
aquarium should be set up with driftwood, roots and stones
that form hiding places. It is recommended that a part
of the substrate is fine sand where they can dig oneself in.
Plants can be used as a decoration as well, but fine leaved
plants will be polluted quickly because the fish burrows a
lot in the substrate. The fish has a large thorn on
his fins, so it is not wise to catch him with your bare
hands.
They are omnivorous. You should give them a great variety of live, frozen and dry food. A part of the food should be vegetable. About breeding in the aquarium nothing is known. |
