Highly social; best kept in schools of 6 or more. Peaceful and compatible with other small community fish.
Feed 2–3 times daily with flakes, micro pellets, frozen/live foods. Supplement occasionally with finely chopped vegetables to maintain coloration and overall health.

Prone to stress, ich, and fin damage if water quality is poor or tankmates are aggressive. Maintain clean water and appropriate school sizes.
Peaceful, active, and social. Best kept in schools of 6 or more. Compatible with most small, non-aggressive community fish. Energetic swimmers that add constant movement to tanks.
