✂️ Care
Keep in a school of at least 10 pieces — the larger the group, the calmer and more beautiful their swimming behaviour. A well-planted aquarium with sufficient open swimming space brings out the best in this species.
🐠 Combination tip
Peaceful and good to combine with other calm community fish such as corydoras, other tetra species and dwarf gouramis.
