Hello danishcatfish.

Yes would very much enjoy a stream setup, as they come from the rapids of the Rio Xingu.

Like all fish from the Xingu, be sure the water is nice and warm (27C+) for these fish to prosper.

Powerheads and airstones should keep the water moving and oxygen levels high. Aquascape with loads of rocks, sand and gravel. Plants are not really required for the biotope, but Anubias are a good choice if you want some greenery.

Check out some of the posts by Haavard Stoere for some pictures of his inspirational tanks.
