Special requirements
Manage Male Aggression
Rival males engage in spectacular but potentially damaging 'jousting' battles. Ensure a spacious aquarium (108+ liters) and an adequate number of females to prevent severe injuries and subsequent infections.
Open Swimming Space
A lively, active species that appreciates an environment resembling a flowing stream. Furnish the tank with rocks and driftwood, but ensure plenty of unobstructed open swimming space.
