Batasio travancoria

Batasio travancoria is a species of catfish that inhabits fast-flowing hill streams. They are known for their nocturnal behavior and require plenty of hiding places in a tank environment. They are typically peaceful but may be sensitive to changes in water parameters. A well-oxygenated, biologically mature aquarium with a substrate of sand and smooth rocks is ideal. Regular water changes are necessary to keep them healthy, mimicking their natural habitat with clear, clean water.
