This little fish is a fantastic addition to add to an aquarium that is over a year old and running smoothly. The Dwarf Siam Botia does best on a substrate of fine sand with plenty of hiding places, and really needs to be kept in a group of at least five. This fish exhibits shoaling behavior when kept in a group and it’s a very entertaining behavior to observe from these little fish. This botia is an omnivore, and will accept a very wide variety of food.
