They are jumpy and very sensitive to poor water conditions and lack of oxygen. They are very stiff and thus room engaging.
120cm-tank is an absolute minimus. 40 cm heigth is almost to low.
They displace Pterosturisoma microps from food and from territory.
24°C is the lowest limit. Flow is important.
