These eels occur in areas of the stream where water is moving very slow. Spends most of its time lying at the bottom, either buried in mud or clinging to some submerged vegetation along the edges of the streams, therefore you should keep these in an aquarium with soft substrate, lots of plants and many hiding places to ensure that they feel at home.
