Special requirements

  • Low Water Current

    Requires a filter with low flow, such as a sponge filter, or a prefilter sponge on intakes to prevent these tiny fish from being sucked up.

  • Specific Feeding Needs

    Requires food small enough for their mouths (crushed flakes, baby brine shrimp) and spread widely to ensure they aren't outcompeted by faster swimmers.

  • Environmental Enrichment

    Thrives in mature tanks with live plants and catappa leaves, which provide tannins, cover, and natural biofilm for grazing.
