Detailed Description:

This is a small, nocturnal catfish. It will hide during the day and feed at night.
The environment should include driftwood to make the water acidic. Plants are needed, both rooted to provide shelter and floating to provide lower level lighting. Current is not appreciated. Water changes should be provided bi-weekly.

Feed a sinking food, preferably after the lights go out. Some veggies may be offered from time to time.

Sexing and breeding are unknown.
