Care Notes
Requires a tall aquarium (18"+ height) to accommodate their finnage. Prefers soft, slightly acidic water with gentle filtration and planted décor. Best kept as pairs or in groups of 5+ (odd numbers reduce pairing aggression). Feed quality flakes or pellets supplemented with frozen bloodworms and brine shrimp 2–3 times weekly. Keep temperature stable — sudden drops cause stress and disease.
