Suggested habitat
Aim for a long tank of at least 600 × 300 × 300 mm. Foreground plants and midground wood frame a swim lane; don’t empty the back entirely—leave an escape route when startled.
Plates are husbandry references—not build plans or generator parameters. Check your own water, vessel, and stocking before you act.
