Maintenance and care
It belongs to undemanding and easy-to-keep fish. Bond’s corridor perfectly adapts to a wide range of hydrochemical values. Able to live both in acidic soft and slightly alkaline water of medium hardness. The choice of design also does not matter much. The only condition is soft ground and the presence of several shelters.
Like any other fish, the catfish needs a clean aquarium. A cleaning system, even the most expensive one, is not a panacea for maintaining a healthy ecosystem. It is imperative to regularly clean the soil from organic waste (food leftovers, excrement), clean the decorative elements from plaque and replace part of the water with fresh water weekly.

behavior and compatibility. Peaceful sociable species, gets along well with similar fish of comparable size. They can be alone or in pairs, but they will feel most comfortable in the company of relatives. If possible, it is worth buying a group of 4-6 fish.
