A larger tank might be needed for fully-grown specimens.

الوصف

Beware of

Pods in the aquarium
It is preferable that this species should be able to find all of its own food in the tank. It can therefore be very challenging to keep it in an aquarium, as it so easily runs out of food.

Keep in mind

Sensitive during transportation
This species is very sensitive during transportation and acclimatizing into the aquarium.

Deep sandy substrate
This species needs a minimum of 2 inch (5 cm) of sand in the aquarium bottom, so it can dig itself down when afraid or needing to sleep.

Frequent feeding
This fish requires feeding several times a day, especially when newly added. When the fish can find its natural food in the aquarium it requires less frequent feeding.

Docile
This species is very shy and docile, so one should be careful when keeping it with more aggressive fish.

Can coexist with its own species
Several specimen of this species can coexist in the same aquarium, provided they are introduced simultaneously.

Hermaphroditic
This species can change gender from female to male. When a male is needed, a female changes sex and takes on the role.
