| Care: | Live fish preferred, but also accepts chunks of meat and meat-based formulations. Large, well-planted, well-filtered aquarium with subdued lighting and large shelters. Because this fish, like numerous other similar-looking fishes from South America, generates a weak electric field for nagivational and communication purposes, an aquarium containing this species should be positioned at a reasonable distance from any electrical equipment that generates powerful electric fields, such as computer monitors, Hi-Fi loudspeakers etc., as the electric fields from such devices may distress the fishes.
