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.
