Special requirements
Breeding Substrate
Requires a flat surface for egg-laying, such as a piece of slate, large plant leaf, or flowerpot, ideally positioned at a 30-degree angle in moderate water flow.
Social Pairing
Best results for breeding and social stability are achieved by housing a group together until pairs naturally form.
Habitat Balance
Thrives in well-planted aquariums but requires significant open swimming space to accommodate its tall body profile.
Dietary Variety
Requires a balanced intake of both vegetable-based foods and meaty items like brine shrimp and bloodworms to maintain its brilliant sheen.
