Peaceful, shy schooling fish that should be kept together with
other small and peaceful fishes. The aquarium should be
set up with a lot of plants on the sides and the background
together with some driftwood and roots to provide hiding
places. A lot of free swimming space should be left in
the middle. The substrate should be dark and the light
must be dimmed to bring out the colours of this fish. A
regular changing of the water is necessary. In soft
water the fish is rather sensitive for tuberculosis.
You should give them small live food. They accept dry food occasionally. Breeding is in soft and acid water not difficult. The eggs are laid and fertilized in a spawning mop. The eggs should be removed to a shallow tank. After 10 days the eggs hatch. The young fishes can be raised with fine infusoria and a few days later with baby brine shrimp. |
