Care Guide
Tank setup: Give them a filter, a heater and plenty of plants. They feel safest with places to hide and show more color in a planted tank.
Feeding: Feed a quality flake or small pellet once or twice a day, only as much as they eat in a couple of minutes. They also enjoy frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp.
Tankmates: Keep them with other small, peaceful fish such as rasboras, small tetras, corydoras and dwarf shrimp. Avoid large or boisterous fish and fin-nippers.
Good to know: The long fins are best kept away from fin-nippers like tiger barbs, so pair them with other gentle fish.
