Garra theunensis is a peaceful species, often found in schools in its natural habitat. It is essential to recreate similar environments in captivity to promote communal behaviors and reduce stress. They are known for their substrate-grazing habits, so a tank with a sandy substrate and plenty of hiding spots is ideal. They can adapt to a variety of tank conditions but require good water circulation and high oxygen levels.
