history

Please note that the fish shown in the photo is not the exact fish you will receive and is only a representative of what a specimen will look like. The color may vary based on the age and sex (if listed as unsexed) of the fish you receive.

Can be maintained in a fully-decorated aquarium although many breeders prefer not to use a substrate for ease of maintenance.

Driftwood roots and branches can be used and placed such a way that a few shady spots are formed, while half-coconut shells or upturned clay flower pots with entrance holes chipped in the rims represent ideal spawning sites (see ‘Reproduction’).

The addition of dried leaf litter further emphasises the natural feel and as well as offering additional cover brings with it development of microbe colonies which can provide a valuable early food source for fry.

This species prefers fairly dim lighting so the use of surface vegetation, floating or otherwise, is also useful. As it naturally inhabits sluggish waters filtration should not be too strong, with an air-powered sponge unit adequate.

Some small cyprinids and loaches that inhabit similar environments in nature are compatible, but similar-shaped fishes are best-omitted.

It can be maintained in a pair or group, and will display some interesting behavioural interactions under the latter circumstances.
