II. You would love the fish because…

Many people believe that taking care of Guianacara owroewefi is difficult. Despite being a species of freshwater, they are quite resilient and tolerant of care and maintenance. When it comes to raising Owroewefis in aquariums, these are two of the most significant aspects to consider.

Learning about the Guianacara owroewefi’s natural environment is an essential component of its growth care. In this way, you can help your fish thrive and feel at home in your aquarium by re-creating its preferred environment.

The Owroewefi live in a variety of freshwater areas, but they prefer waters with temperatures between 77 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Aside from that, the best thing to put in an aquarium for these fishes is driftwood, roots, and stones. This is due to the fact that in the wild, they are primarily solitary cave dwellers who enjoy remaining anonymous.

Plants should be avoided in tanks for this species because they don’t like to dig too much into the substrate during the breeding season. If you want to increase the number of Owroewefi in your area, it is best to keep these fish in pairs.

A minimum of 55 inches should be the size of the aquarium. However, if you intend to keep your Guianacara owroewefi in a group with other species, a good general rule is to add one gallon of water for every one inch of fish.
