Carnegiella myersi exhibit unique gliding behaviors at the water's surface, requiring a covered tank to prevent them from jumping out. They thrive in densely planted tanks with floating plants that provide cover and recreate their native habitat conditions. The fish's timid nature necessitates a peaceful community environment, typically with other non-aggressive species.
