Hemimyzon nanensis are adapted to life in fast-flowing waters, and their tank setups should mimic this by ensuring high water turnover and ample oxygenation. Provide plenty of smooth rocks and boulders for resting and grazing. Stable water conditions and a diet rich in algae and microorganisms are essential for these fish. They are suitable for unheated tanks in temperate homes.
