Care Guide
Keep in schools of 8+ in at least 100 L. Provide dim lighting, dark substrate, and some floating plants to simulate its natural blackwater habitat. Sensitive to poor water quality — keep nitrates low. Feed fine flake, micro pellets, and small frozen foods. Soft, slightly acidic water preferred.
