| Comments: This is a great, easy to care for fish that you will grow to enjoy, if you keep it with other fish it is compatible with. They can get very nippy of fins of slower-moving fish, which can create a problem for the fishkeeper. Otherwise, they are a great and colorful addition to the community aquarium. Keep in groups of 3 or more. |
