They can be kept in pairs and or solitary. They will eat a carnivorous diet consisting of zooplankton and chopped meaty foods.

This makes them an excellent choice for most beginner and novice aquarists. They require an aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and at least 2 inches of substrate for burrowing. Sometimes these burrows are shared in a symbiotic relationship with the Pistol Shrimp.
