How difficult was it to care for?
I' m hoping they become abailable again.They seem to be rare in the fish keeping world.

Care doesn't differ much from other Glyptothorax species; high DO, regular water changes, a good flow and depending on the climate, food at regular intervals. You may find it easier to source SE Asian than telchitta although it is the most commonly exported Indian species.

Sergeant: Not stone, sir.
Major: They're very good scissors!!

Pretty easy IME but as above - very high oxygenation, good water quality. Not fussy on feeding & mine were kept at room temperature without a heater in the UK
Lou: Every young man's fantasy is to have a three-way.
Jacob: Yeah not with another fu**!ng guy!
Lou: It's still a three-way!
