Lively schooling fish. During breeding time males get
rather aggressive to smaller males. The aquarium
should be planted densely on the sides and background.
In the middle you should leave enough free swimming space.
A dimmed light by using floating plants brings out the
colours of the fish. A good filter and a regular large
changing of the water are appreciated.
They are omnivorous. You should give them a great variety of live, frozen and dry food. Breeding is easy. 50-150 eggs are laid and fertilized in a period of several days between fine leaved plants. After about a week the eggs hatch. When they are swimming free you can raise them with fine crushed dry food. |
