Gastromyzon aeroides require an environment that mimics their natural habitat, such as rocky substrates, strong current, and high dissolved oxygen content. They are peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish. Algae and biofilm constitute their primary diet, though they might accept flakes and pellets. They are excellent fish for combating algae in the tank.
