A tank of at least 50 gallons with at least 3 inches of mixed substrate for burrowing, and a tight-fitting lid to prevent escape, is recommended for optimum health and longevity. Additionally, it is important to provide ample swimming space and to keep members of the same species as tank mates. With the proper care and environment, this active fish can be a rewarding addition to any aquarium.
