Peaceful fish that can be kept in a community aquarium.
The aquarium should be heavily planted on the sides and
background. In the middle you should leave much free
swimming space. A cover of floating plants is
necessary to provide a refuge for young. The plants
should be suited for hard water like Vallisneria and Javafern. They are omnivorous but they prefer algae. Frozen and dry food are accepted as well. Breeding is very easy. Every 4-6 weeks up to 80 young fishes are born. They hide between the roots of floating plants. You can feed them with crushed dry food and baby brine shrimp.
