[4] In the wild, head standers are often found face down, tail up in narrow vertical rocky fissures.

[5] Marble headstanders are generally identified by their high-backs,[6] pointed snout, diamond-shaped body, brown markings on pelvic fin, wavy dark brown bands, and a dark line at the base of the caudal peduncle.

[4] Headstanders most commonly inhabit very fast flowing waters in rocky stretches of river.

Keep marble headstanders in a rocky, heavily planted aquarium for them to explore,[5] too small aquariums lead to increased quarrels between conspecifics, which can be avoided by sufficiently offered hiding places with roots and stone structures, consisting of cracks and crevices.

On the other hand, you can use this to your advantage if you want to set up a "self-sustaining aquarium", please keep in mind that this is not an easy task, do not just throw a bunch of plants in and think it will be fine.
