| Husbandry Information | |
| Feeding | This genus feeds on wood, and should have several pieces, preferably several kinds of wood to chew on. Aside from wood, a mainly vegetarian diet is recommended, prepared food such as algae wafers and fresh vegetables, such as courgette (zucchini) and tubers such as potato or sweet potato (yams). User data. |
| Furniture | Rock piles are optional and wood tangles are a must. Plants are not vital and will be nibbled or destroyed. |
| Suggested Tankmates | Works well with most types of peaceful community fish. Can be somewhat territorial towards conspecifics, but given enough hiding spaces, a group can be kept in a suitable size aquarium - roughly requiring a 30 x 30cm area per fish. |
| Breeding | A cave breeder, the male looks after the eggs and fry until the fry are ready to fend for themselves as miniature copies of the adults. |
| Breeding Reports | There is no breeding report. |
