Hypopygus lepturus is a nocturnal and peaceful species often preferring to hide during the day. It's crucial to provide plenty of hiding spaces and plants in the aquarium. They have an elongated body and use electrical signals for navigation and communication, similar to other knifefish. Due to their calm nature, they do best with other non-aggressive tank mates.
