Peaceful schooling fish that can be kept as a pair as well.  You should keep them with other calm fishes.  The aquarium should be planted well on the sides and background.  In the middle you should leave enough free swimming space. A dark substrate and a dimmed light bring out the colours of the fish. 

You should feed them live food like mosquito larvae.  Dry food is accepted as well.

Breeding is very difficult and only a few results have been reported.
