The Beaufortia lecortei is a small, peaceful bottom-dweller that thrives in a well-oxygenated environment with lots of water movement. It's important to provide rounded, smooth rock surfaces, as they replicate the fish's natural streambed habitat in the wild. Aquarists should aim for a habitat with sufficient algae, driftwood, and hiding spots.
