Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: carnivore
• Minimum tank size: 200 liters (50 gallons) for a small school
• Compatibility: Best kept in a species-only tank or with other peaceful, similarly sized, fast-moving fish that prefer similar water conditions. Avoid slow-moving or fin-nipping species.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established, mature aquarium with excellent water quality and strong filtration. A good current is beneficial. Provide open swimming areas as well as some tall plants or driftwood for cover. They are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least 6-8 individuals to reduce stress and encourage natural behavior. Sensitive to poor water conditions and sudden changes.
