Peaceful, lively schooling fish that is suited for a very large aquarium.  The aquarium should be set up with stones and driftwood that make hiding places.  They need a lot of free swimming space.  Some plants can be used on the sides and background.  The water should be very clean and pure. 

You should give them live food such as insect larvae that live in the lower water levels
