| Peaceful schooling fish that is suited for the cooler 
                    community aquarium.  This fish is not easy to keep 
                    because they don't like high temperatures.  The water 
                    should be very clean and have a lot of oxygen.  They 
                    need quick moving water by using a very powerful filter.  
                    The aquarium should be planted densely on the sides and 
                    background.  In the middle you should leave a lot of 
                    free swimming space.  A dimmed light brings out the 
                    colours of the fish. You should give them small live food. Breeding is not easy. The eggs are fertilized inside the female. She can lay eggs several weeks after fertilization. They are laid preferably under the leaves of plants. The eggs hatch within one day. Because the young fishes are very small it is difficult to feed them. You need very small infusoria. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
