Notas de cuidado

A 40 L tank is enough for a small group. Water can be soft to hard (GH 5-20, KH 5-15), pH 6.5-8.0, temperature 24-28°C. Moderate filtration and dense vegetation are appreciated. Feed flakes, pellets and live foods. Keep a group of at least 3-4 individuals. Avoid aggressive fish. Perform 20% weekly water changes. Fry should be protected from adults.
