Peaceful schooling fish that can be kept in a community
aquarium together with other small peaceful fishes.
This fish also can be kept as a pair. The tank should be
well-planted on the sides and background and have a dark
gravel substrate. The lighting of the aquarium should be
dimmed by a some floating plants to bring out the colours of
this fish better. The fish is omnivorous. You should give them a great variety of live, frozen and dry food. Breeding is difficult. The water should be acid (Ph 5,5-6) and soft (< 5 Gh). The light should be dimmed. The eggs are laid in a spawning mop. After spawning the parents should be removed. When the young fishes are swimming free you can give them very fine infusoria and ten days later baby brine shrimp. |
