G. Carapo general care and tips

[ace.of.spades]

I just picked up a Carapo knife, does anyone have experience with this species? I’ve seen so much conflicting care information online and even among firsthand accounts.

It seems to be pretty happy initially in my tank with blackwater and lots of driftwood and plants. I want to figure out how to give this guy the ideal environment to really thrive.

You will find your answer by identifying and replicating the ecosystem to which they’re native

I know nothing about carapo but it’s definitely one of best looking fish in that genus. You should post some pictures once he’s settled in.
