| Lively, peaceful schooling fish that is not easy to keep 
                    because they are rather sensitive for fresh water.  If 
                    you change the water you should use a good preparation to 
                    make the water better.  You can keep them very well 
                    together with fishes from "black water" rivers.  The 
                    aquarium should be planted densely on the sides and 
                    background.  In the middle you should leave a lot of 
                    free swimming space.  A dark substrate and a dimmed 
                    light by using floating plants bring out the colours of the 
                    fish. You should give them small live food like Artemia and mosquito larvae. Dry food is accepted as well. Breeding in the aquarium is very difficult. In very soft water a small number of eggs are laid between fine leaved plants. After spawning the parents should be removed. The eggs hatch after 30 hours. When they are swimming free you can raise them with very fine infusoria and dustfood such as paramecia and rotifers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
