Brachyplatystoma rousseauxii is a migratory species known for its long-distance travel. It requires extensive space in captivity and replicating a natural river environment greatly benefits its health and well-being. Due to its large size and space needs, it is ideally suited for public aquariums or dedicated large-scale private installations.
