This is a good beginner's fish. These are schooling fish and better kept in groups
of 6 or more. They can adopt to varying water conditions, but prefer neutral to
soft waters. They are best kept in planted tanks with plenty of swimming space.
They are egg scatterers and males have longer finnage. Pairing takes place if
kept in groups. They can take all food but supplement with live food for
good results.
