| HABITS |
|
It is best to keep these fish with other fish that grow similar in size and away from smaller fish. They do well in pairs. Although they are not fussy, they are ravenous eaters and will reward you with fantastic colour when fed on good food and kept in pristine water. A good maintenance routine is essential to keep your aquarium looking good. Please try 'Aquatest' and sera foods as recommended to keep your fish and water at their optimum best. These fish can dig but are normally fine to keep in an aquarium. It is recommended growing stronger plants with these fish. You can check out the plant section for hardy plants.
