Hemiodontichthys acipenserinus

Hemiodontichthys acipenserinus is a peaceful, bottom-dwelling species known for its unique sturgeon-like appearance and elongated snout. It is nocturnal and typically prefers hiding among leaf litter or against driftwood during daylight. When setting up an aquarium: 1. Substrate should be sandy or fine-grained to protect their delicate barbels and mouth. 2. Provide plenty of hiding spots with driftwood and leaf litter. 3. They are not strong swimmers but require a modest water flow mimicking river currents. 4. Diet consists primarily of small invertebrates; consider high-quality sinking pellets and occasional live or frozen food. It's worth noting that they may be shy when initially introduced to a tank and take some time to acclimate to their new surroundings.
