Pseudosphronemus cupanus is known for its peaceful nature and can coexist with other non-aggressive species. They are labyrinth fish and require access to the water surface to breathe air. A well-planted tank with slow water movement simulates their natural habitat best. Regular water changes are essential for maintaining an appropriate environment. Males exhibit more vibrant coloration and elongated fins compared to females.
