The Hemiodus ternetzi is an active, schooling fish accustomed to flowing waters. It's best kept in spacious aquaria with ample swimming space and good filtration, as they require clean, well-oxygenated water. Suitable tankmates include other peaceful, non-aggressive species. They are timid and may jump when startled, so a secure lid is recommended.
