Temperature between 22 and 26°C, pH 6.0 to 7.5, GH 5 to 12. A 40-liter tank is sufficient for a group of 8 to 10 individuals. Water must be clean and well oxygenated. Feed with micro-foods: infusoria, brine shrimp nauplii, crushed flakes. This fish is very peaceful and compatible with dwarf shrimp and micro-rasboras. Avoid larger or aggressive fish. Regular water changes are crucial. Breeding is possible in soft water with fine plants; eggs are non-adhesive.
