Special requirements
Open Swimming Space
A very active species that requires plenty of unobstructed open swimming space alongside areas of planting or hardscape.
Careful Tankmate Selection
While peaceful, their highly active nature can intimidate shy or slow-moving species. Best kept with robust dwarf cichlids or other similarly active African tetras.
Blackwater Conditions
Benefits from peat filtration or the addition of botanicals to simulate its natural tannin-stained waters.
