Keep in mind

Requires a varied diet
This species must be fed with an appropriately varied diet.

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.

Acclimitises best as a juvenile
This species will better acclimatize to the aquarium`s condition if introduced, when young. Very small individuals can be very delicate.

Rearranges rocks and sand
This species has a habit of rearranging rocks and sand. Make sure rocks are placed securely on the substrate, so they cannot toppled over.

Likes to hide at first
These fish may well hide themselves for a while, whilst getting acclimatized. Do not disturb the fish while acclimating because it will prolong the process.

Requires plenty of space for swimming.
This species revels in swimming and requires an aquarium with ample space.

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

Eats Pyramid snails
This species can be used to combat Pyramid snails. One can of course be unlucky in having an individual that refuses to eat them.
