Chaetostoma sp. (LDA41) are peaceful and should be housed with similarly non-aggressive species. They require well-oxygenated water and strong currents to mimic their natural habitat. An aquarium with rocks, caves, and driftwood is ideal as they enjoy hiding and grazing on algae. Regular feeding should include a diet rich in vegetable matter, and specific pleco foods can be supplemented with fresh veggies.
