| − | + | |environment_specifics=:A sand substrate is best with hiding places of rock and cave work and making sure that it has plenty of swimming space, as they do like to cruise the tank during the night hours. Keep your regular water changes up with good filtration as they are a greedy species, and can make a mess of your aquarium if good husbandry is not adhered to. | |

Four pairs of barbels, one pair = maxillary; one pair = nasal; two pair = mandibular. Rayed fin short with 6-7 rays. Anal fin long with 60-79 rays. Ventral fins 6 rays. Two elongate pulmary sacs that run backwards from the gill through the muscles in the back. Uniform grey-brown to olive-brown.
