Pangio shelfordii is an active, peaceful fish known for its nocturnal habits. It's a social species and should be kept in groups of five or more. The setup of their tank is vital; the addition of sand or fine gravel substrate, along with dense vegetation and hiding spots, mimics their natural habitat. Regular water changes and maintenance of water quality further support their well-being. Additionally, Pangio shelfordii prefers subdued lighting and benefits from a varied diet of sinking foods, including high-quality flakes, live, and frozen foods.
