Roots, rocks, and driftwood make the best decorations for aquariums containing this species. The Striped Anostomus may eat tender plants. An avid jumper, this fish will require a hood on the aquarium. Although the Striped Anostomus may be somewhat aggressive towards its own species, it is usually quite peaceful with other species.
