to most of this genus, very peaceful, and would be best housed with
small to medium sized tankmates such as Tetras, Rasboras and Danios
or in a species tank for breeding purposes.
Best to purchase 6 individuals or more as they will be happier
in a group. Diet: Readily accepts a mixed and varied
diet which includes granular foods, tablet food, frozen bloodworm
and good quality flake to name but a few.
