Animal care
In particular, due to the small size of this catfish is suitable for many aquariums. The species has few demands on the water. Often tap water is perfectly adequate.
The aquarium should be equipped with roots and caves.
As the animals occasionally dig sand or fine gravel is recommended as a substrate. Possible constructions should be stable. In their acuarium they undermined 6 caves in 3 months. These were then 4cm deep.

Keeping and Breeding

Males have significantly longer odontodes. The females have a wider waist. See pictures in row 1st for male, row 2nd for female.
