Schistura sp. 1 is known for its peaceful temperament but requires a tank setup that mimics its natural habitat. A strong water current, smooth rocks, and plenty of hiding places are recommended. They prefer company and should ideally be kept in small groups. Regular water changes and a balanced diet consisting of high-quality flake food and live/frozen daphnia, brine shrimp, or bloodworms can contribute to their optimal health.
