Syncrossus hymenophysa is a shoaling fish that should be kept in groups. It is semi-aggressive and enjoys a well-decorated tank with plenty of hiding places. Suitable tankmates include larger, robust fish that can tolerate its boisterous nature. Regular partial water changes and a high-quality filtration system are recommended to maintain optimal tank conditions.
