| − | + | |tank_compatibility=:Best not kept with long-finned, slow fish, for they may find flowing fins too interesting. Keep these fish in groups of 5 or more, more females than males. | |
| − | + | |diet=:They should accept pellet/flake foods as well as live/frozen foods such as [[brine shrimp]] and [[bloodworm]]. Generally very easy to feed. | |
| − | + | |feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day. | |
| − | :Females are larger and stouter than males. See identification. | + | |environment_specifics=:Keep these fish in a laterally spacious tank without very bright lighting. They would do well in a planted tank with a mix of open swimming space and tall planting/[[bogwood]] hiding places. They are more tolerant of lower temperatures than most tropical fish. |
| − | + | |behaviour=:Active shoaling fish, should be kept in groups of 5 and up, the more the better. A lively swimmer and generally non-aggressive towards other fish. | |
| − | + | |identification=:Both males and females have two large black spots, one at the caudal peduncle, the other behind the head at the flank of the fish. Males have a red band running behind the head and extend until the edge of the middle portion of the tail fin. The dorsal and ventral fins are speckle with black dots and are edged in black. The caudal and pectoral fins are clear. Females do not have red markings and are brown/greyish green in colour. The females also lack most of the black dots shown on the dorsal and ventral fins. | |
