:Spawns readily in provided tubes, caves, or like minded contraptions. Due to breeding nonspecificity, just about any open ended tube can be used. As with many loricariines, fry development can be problematic, as they are sensitive to water quality and can be difficult to wean. | :Spawns readily in provided tubes, caves, or like minded contraptions.

| − | + | |tank_compatibility=:One of the most peaceful catfish around, these can be combined with many other species. In a natural setup good tankmates include small [[Characins]], [[Apistogramma]], [[Corydoras]] and other quiet [[Loricariidae|Loricariids]], but it can be kept in most communities of peaceful fish. Don't keep it with anything too vigorous or aggressive as it will become very retiring and will easily be out-competed for food. It's not territorial unless spawning, and is best kept in a small group. Bear in mind it does not do well at higher temperatures when selecting tankmates. | |
| − | + | |diet=:Omnivorous and will accept both sinking dried foods, vegetable matter including blanched spinach, courgette, kale etc., and live and frozen stuff such as bloodworm or daphnia. As with most rineloricaria, it is primarily a sand-sifting invertebrate feeder, thus, high protein, low fat foods are recommended. | |
