    Intolerant to organic pollutants. Requires spotless water with weekly 30-50% water changes and high dissolved oxygen levels.

  • Social Grouping

    Loosely gregarious; must be kept in a group of 8 or more to establish a stable dominance hierarchy and prevent nervous behavior.

  • Vegetation Note

    Likely to eat most aquatic plants. Hardy species like Anubias or Microsorum are the only types likely to survive.
