रखरखाव और देखभाल, मछलीघर की व्यवस्था
The optimal size of the aquarium for a group of 3-4 fish starts from 40 liters. In the design, it is important to provide places for shelters and areas of sandy soft soil for digging. As a shelter, you can use both artificial decoration elements and natural snags (pre-treated), thickets of plants, leaves of some trees, etc.
Wild individuals need soft slightly acidic water. However, acclimatized fish are able to successfully adapt to higher pH and dGH values.
They are considered unpretentious and easy to maintain. Regular maintenance of the aquarium and the smooth operation of the filtration system will keep the water quality at an acceptable level.
