| Lively, peaceful schooling fish, very well suited for a 
                    small community aquarium.  The aquarium should be 
                    planted densely on the sides and background because they nee 
                    hiding places.  In the middle you should leave enough 
                    free swimming space.  A dark substrate and a dimmed 
                    light bring out the colours of the fish. They are omnivorous. You should give them a great variety of live, frozen and dry food. Breeding is not easy. The water should be extremely soft and rather acid. The eggs are laid and fertilized under the leaves of plants. After spawning the parents should be removed and the aquarium should be darkened. After 24 hours the eggs hatch. When the young fishes are swimming free you can raise them with very fine infusoria. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
