Pseudauchenipterus nodosus is a nocturnal, peaceful fish and thrives in a dimly lit tank with plenty of hiding spaces. They are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least 4-5 individuals. Due to their reclusive nature during the day, tank decorations and plants should optimize hiding options.
