Gastromyzon ctenocephalus are bottom-dwelling fish and prefer a tank setup that mimics their natural environment. This means having a strong water current, ample oxygenation, and plenty of rocks or smooth stones for them to cling to. They can be kept in groups but should not be paired with overly aggressive or large fish. Their diet consists primarily of algae and small invertebrates.
