| Peaceful schooling fish that is suited for every community 
                    aquarium.  The aquarium should be well planted because 
                    they need hiding places.  A dark substrate and a dimmed 
                    light by using floating plants bring out the colours of the 
                    fish. The fish is omnivorous. You should give them a great variety of live, dry and frozen food. Breeding is easy. The eggs are laid and fertilized between the roots of floating plants. After spawning the parents should be removed because they eat their own eggs. After 2 days the eggs hatch. When the young fishes are swimming free you can feed them with very fine infusoria. After a week you can give them Artemia-nauplii anf fine crushed dry food. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
