Aquarium
Care: Can be kept in a community tank but would watch
if housing an adult with smaller Characins or Livebearers as they
could be picked of at night when it starts cruising the tank.
Diet: Any good food that would reach into their
hiding places during the day or feed at night with the lights
out, tablet food, worms and frozen bloodworm.
