Care guide
Keeping Blackfin Aspidoras healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
A minimum 60L aquarium suits Blackfin Aspidoras. Provide hiding spots and stable, well-filtered water; it suits a community setup.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6–7.5 and 22–26°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers; acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Feeding
Omnivore — sinking foods, frozen. Feed small amounts it clears in a couple of minutes, and vary the diet.
Behaviour
Peaceful, social bottom-dweller. Watch it at feeding time and at lights-out to see its real temperament in your tank.
Tankmates
Choose tankmates of similar size and temperament with the same water needs. Avoid fin-nippers and anything large enough to eat it.
Breeding
Breeding success with Blackfin Aspidoras depends on the line and water chemistry; ask your shop about proven pairs.
Settling this fish in?
Condition the tap water, seed the filter, test through the first weeks — most early losses trace back to one of those.
