Peaceful fish that can be kept together with other peaceful fishes.  The aquarium should be planted densely on the sides and background.  In the middle you should leave a lot of free swimming space.

Breeding is not difficult.  They are viviparous.  After a gestation period of 25 days 10-40 young fishes are born.   They can be raised with baby brine shrimp and Liquifry and a few days later with fine crushed dry food.
