About

Care Guide

Keep in groups of 8+ for boldest male colouration. At least 50 L. Feed quality flake, micro pellets, frozen daphnia. Completely peaceful with all community fish. Prefers planted tanks and slightly shaded areas. Excellent beginner fish. Colouration intensifies in well-planted tanks with good feeding.
