Keep six or more where space permits. Provide a long, open swimming area and choose active, peaceful tankmates with similar water requirements.
Diet
Use a quality flake or suitably sized pellet as the staple. Supplement with frozen daphnia or brine shrimp and distribute food across the swimming area.
Species notes
