[edit] Tank compatibility
- An active fish that is generally peaceful, should be peaceful towards its own kind. Should not be housed with very timid fish as this fish's active nature may bother them.
[edit] Diet
- Should accept most foods including pellet and flake as well as live/frozen foods such as brine shrimp.
[edit] Feeding regime
- Feed once or twice a day.

- This fish needs a very long tank with plenty of open lateral swimming space, some densely planted areas will make the fish feel secure. It needs a secure lid as it's an excellent jumper.

[edit] Identification
- A torpedo-shaped Characin with a pointed snout and sharply forked caudal fin. The body is silver with blue/green iridescence. The fins are darker in colour.
