Hemiodus argenteus are peaceful, schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least six to show their natural behavior. They are strong swimmers, requiring elongated tanks to provide adequate swimming space. Good water quality is essential, so regular maintenance and a high-quality filtration system is recommended. Substrate should be soft, and aquarium decorations should be secured to prevent injuries from their energetic nature.
