Beware of

Difficult to keep alive in aquaria

These fish can, after several months suddenly die of unknown causes in the same aquarium, where it previously thrived.

It seems that a large fish tank, with plenty of micro life is best, in order to keep these fish alive.

Jumps out of open aquaria
This species is known to jump out of open aquaria.

Keep in mind

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

There is a greater chance of success with this species if one can supply a living feed to allow it to adapt to the tank.

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.
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.
A pair, or one male with several females
This species functions best as a pair (one male, one female), or one male with several females.
Docile
This species is very shy and docile, so one should be careful when keeping it with more aggressive fish.
Hermaphroditic
This species can change gender from female to male.
When a male is needed, a female changes sex and takes on the role.
