Care notes
Schooling bottom-dwellers; keep in groups of 6+. Sensitive to salt. Breathe atmospheric air occasionally (normal). Soft substrate preferred.
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
