Prefers a well-decorated tank with hiding spots like rocks and driftwood due to its shy nature. Often found resting at the bottom, it appreciates a gentle current mimicking its native stream environment. They are non-aggressive and can be kept with other non-hostile species. A sandy substrate is ideal to protect their delicate barbels. It is advisable to have a group of 4-6 to observe natural behaviors, as they are somewhat social among their kind.
