− | :Males have more vivid colouration and longer finnage than females. | + | |tank_compatibility=:These fish should only be kept in species tanks. Males can be quite aggressive towards one another, if two are to be kept you'll need a very spacious tank. Keep females in the ratio of 2-3 females per male as the females will be heavily pursued. |
− | + | |diet=:These fish should not be fed dried foods if it can be avoided, they do much better on live/frozen food such as [[brine shrimp]], [[daphnia]] and [[bloodworm]]. | |
− | + | |feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day. | |
− | = | + | |environment_specifics=:These fish need quite a specific set up in order to be kept successfully and breed. They need a mature tank with a dark substrate, preferably peat moss, as well as dense planting and bogwood décor. Floating plants will help diffuse light as they do not appreciate bright lighting. A tight-fitting cover is a must as these fish can jump. |
