✂️ Care

Provide a densely planted aquarium with ample swimming space. As a livebearing species, the mother carries her young in her belly for a while and releases them once they are fully developed — provide plenty of hiding places (such as dense planting) if you want to keep the young fish, otherwise they are often eaten.

🐠 Combination tip

Keep as a pair or harem — pay attention to the male/female ratio to limit excessive reproduction. Can be combined well with other calm, not too small community fish.
