Being both shy and fast moving makes these fish great shoaling fish, They need a roomy aquarium that is not too cluttered but having some shelter. They prefer softer, acidic water, so be sure to use 'Aquatest' to get it to the correct acidity. They mix well with similar sized fish. To have them looking their best, be sure to use the correct lighting.
