Key Features:
- They are generally peaceful community fish. They have a social pecking order and display best in groups of six or more with more females than males.
- Temperament - they are compatible with other peaceful, similarly sized fish such as other rainbowfish species, loaches, barbs, peaceful catfish (like Corydoras), gouramis, and danios
- Moderate-friendly care level
- Maximum size: 10-14cm
- Ideal water temperature: 24.0°C - 28.0°C

Provide a well-planted tank with plenty of open swimming space and a moderate to strong water current, which helps them stay active and healthy. Live plants like Java Fern, Anubias, and Vallisneria work well.
