概述
不育非洲盲刺鳅（Mastacembelus ellipsifer）是坦噶尼喀湖特有的夜行捕食鱼，常埋在沙中。弱光有助于观察它，柔软底砂和合适硬碱水则是长期养护基础。
分布与栖息地
只原产坦噶尼喀湖，多见于湖岸岩石区向沙底过渡的地带。
饲养环境
可采用约 120 × 45 × 45 cm 的缸，底部宽度比高度更重要。石堆提供藏身处，底部必须铺沙供掩埋，尖砾可能擦伤皮肤。
避免强水流，光照柔和能让夜行性的它更愿意出现。尽管身体细长，仍需保留可利用的底部空间，不能只把缸高作为容量补偿。
食性与喂食
野外捕食小鱼，缸内通常能转食非活体饵。可轮换虾、蛤蜊、贻贝、蚯蚓和红虫。
习性与混养
对吞不下的鱼通常较平和。硬碱水要求使它更适合坦湖群落，选择体型大到无法成为食物且环境需求相符的同伴。
同种间有领地性，多条同养需更宽敞空间和充分遮蔽。
繁殖
尚无成功的爱好者繁殖记录。
补充说明
背部坚硬鳍条需在转移时小心处理。刺鳅缺少鳔，与底栖生活有关；本种的背鳍、尾鳍和臀鳍相连，也是观察外形的线索。

Overview
The nocturnal Tanganyikan predator Mastacembelus ellipsifer spends much of its time buried in sand. Subdued lighting encourages visibility, while soft substrate and suitable hard alkaline water underpin long-term care.
Distribution & habitat
It is endemic to Lake Tanganyika, especially the shoreline transition between rocky areas and sandier bottoms.
Aquarium setup
An aquarium around 120 × 45 × 45 cm can be used, emphasizing width over height. Rock piles provide retreats, and sand is essential for burial. Sharp gravel risks skin abrasions.
Avoid excessive current. Dim conditions suit its nocturnal habits and make observation easier. Usable bottom area matters more than compensating with extra tank height.
Diet & feeding
It preys on smaller fishes in nature and generally accepts nonliving alternatives readily in aquariums. Offer shrimp, clams, mussels, earthworms, and bloodworms in rotation.
Behaviour & compatibility
Fishes too large to swallow are usually tolerated. Its hard alkaline requirements favor an appropriately stocked Tanganyikan community with companions outside its prey size.
Conspecific territoriality means multiple fish require larger quarters and abundant cover.
Breeding
Successful hobby breeding has not been recorded.
Notes
Handle carefully around the hardened dorsal rays. Lack of a swim bladder is associated with the family's bottom-living habits, while this species has connected dorsal, caudal, and anal fins.
