✂️ Care
Keep as a pair or harem in a well-planted aquarium. As a live-bearing species, the female carries the young in her belly for a while and releases them once they are fully developed — ensure sufficient hiding places (such as dense planting) if you wish to keep the fry.
🐠 Combination tip
Peaceful and good to combine with other calm community fish such as guppies, tetras, and corydoras.
