Short description
These are not an aggressive fish to other members of the same species so a small group can be kept together. They do require larger tank mates and plenty of hiding places in the tank. Larger barbs and Rasboras are ideal tank mates but the water needs to be of a premium quality. Regular water changes are a must.
