A rather shy fish for the upper water layers. He is
somewhat intolerant to their own species. You should
keep him together with fishes of about the same size or a
little bit larger. The aquarium should be well planted
on the sides and the background. In the middle you
should
leave very much free swimming space. The light should be
dimmed to bring out the colours of this fish.. Use some
floating plants as well to provide areas of shade. The
aquarium should be well covered because they are very good
jumpers. They are omnivorous, so you should give them a great variety of live, frozen and dry food. Breeding is easy. A couple can breed in a small aquarium with low water. The eggs are laid and fertilized in a spawning mop. You should remove the eggs to a shallow tank. The eggs hatch after 12 - 14 days. When the young fishes are swimming free you can feed them with very fine infusoria. They grow quickly. |
