Also, this fish brings a touch of simplicity and style to your setup.

Size and Lifespan

Begin at about 5 cm and grow over time. They achieve a maximum size of 20 cm. Proper care allows them to live 10 to 15 years, often closer to 15 with consistent effort.

Ideal Tank Setup

Require warm and stable water to flourish. You need to test parameters weekly and perform regular water changes to support their health.

To replicate its natural habitat:

• Use soft, slightly acidic water with very gentle circulation from a spray bar.
• Opt for a fine to medium substrate to keep them comfortable while they search for food.
• Incorporate large-leaf plants such as Amazon Swords to supply cover and improve water quality.
• Place driftwood branches to create safe zones where they can retreat.

Compatible Tank Mates

Interact peacefully with most tank residents. They pair well with other gentle species that match their temperature and feeding habits.

Suitable tank mates include:

• Cardinal Tetras or Rummynose Tetras in groups of 8 or more.
• Peaceful Corydoras species like Sterbai for the bottom.
• Bristlenose Plecos to manage algae without disturbance.
• Steer clear of aggressive or quick fish that may intimidate them.

Diet and Feeding

This fish enjoys a diverse diet that keeps them active. Supply high-quality discus pellets or flakes each day. Add frozen foods like bloodworms or daphnia several times a week. Feed small amounts 4 to 5 times daily to ensure all members of the group eat well.
