Ambastaia nigrolineata, a small and peaceful freshwater species, is ideally kept in groups due to their social nature. They are known for their distinctive black stripe running laterally along their body. More active during the day, they require a tank setup that mimics their natural habitat, incorporating hiding spots and smooth substrates to prevent damage to their barbels.
