Gastromyzon sp. sk04 is a peaceful species requiring a well-oxygenated tank with moderate water flow to replicate its natural habitat. The aquarium should have plenty of hiding spaces and smooth surfaces, like rounded rocks and driftwood, for the fish to graze on algae. They socialize well in groups and should be kept with tank companions that can withstand similar water conditions without aggressive tendencies.
