It needs many places to hide, like pipes, driftwood, or other crevices. Although it will eat anything small enough to fit in its mouth, this fish is not territorial or aggressive with most other fish, so it should not be kept with very small fish or invertebrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants won't be bothered by it. Although it is not particularly sensitive, it will deteriorate as a result of poor water quality and care, just like many scaleless fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eI.
