Garra dampaensis is a relatively new species discovered in 2015. Its adaptability to a range of freshwater conditions makes it suitable for captive care. However, adequate space and water quality are imperative for its well-being. Social Behavior: These fishes are typically peaceful, making them compatible with other non-aggressive species. Diet: Primarily omnivorous, feeding on algae, biofilm, and tiny aquatic invertebrates. Quality flake food, pellets, and fresh or frozen food will help ensure a balanced diet in captivity.
