Aquarium Information
- Care level: beginner
- Temperament: peaceful
- Diet: omnivore
- Minimum tank size: 30 gallons (114 liters)
- Compatibility: Compatible with other peaceful to semi-aggressive community fish of similar size. Avoid fin-nippers or overly boisterous species. Can be kept in pairs or small groups, but males can be territorial towards each other.
- Special requirements: Requires a well-planted aquarium with plenty of hiding spots and surface cover (e.g., floating plants). A tightly fitting lid is essential as they are known to jump. Good water quality is important, though their labyrinth organ allows them to tolerate lower oxygen levels than many other fish.
