Pseudogastromyzon myersi are peaceful grazers that feed on biofilm and algae. An aquarium with a strong current and highly oxygenated waters, replicating their natural habitat, is crucial for their well-being. Co-habitants should be considered carefully to avoid stress from aggressive or larger species.
