Aquaristics
The animals are quite suitable for keeping in the aquarium. Thorny eyes are nocturnal and shy animals. Aquariums with a volume of 60 liters or more are suitable for keeping, and if possible, they should offer several hiding spots if possible. As pronounced non- peaceful fish , they can be socialized well with other species that are not too lively. They are relatively tolerant of the water values, but prefer slightly acidic, rather soft water, the temperature of which should not drop below 24 degrees.
Individual breeding successes are well known, but so far no regular breeding has been successful, which is mainly due to the fact that too little is known about the circumstances that trigger spawning. The animals available on the market are therefore almost all caught in the wild .
