Its hillstream form is suited to life close to rocky surfaces in running water. The specialist account emphasises fast riffles and a strong need for dissolved oxygen. Current taxonomy records the species in northern Borneo. The All Size offer has no numerical shipping bounds and does not specify a collecting stream or sex composition.
The specialist keeper reference recommends 20-23.8 C and pH 7.0-8.0. Provide strong circulation and aeration, smooth pebbles and rocky hiding places, with established feeding surfaces. Offer suitable sinking foods, small frozen foods and vegetable supplements as accepted by the fish. Confirm the supplier holding regime and feeding response rather than placing newly received fish in a bare immature tank.
