Special Requirements: If they start to whiten, this is a sign of stress. The tank conditions do not suit them and they will die.
Tanks Mates and Compatibility – They are a good community fish as they are peaceful and tank mates should be on a similar temperament
Feeding – It can be difficult to get them to eat dried or flake food. Putting it into the flow can help them be attracted to it. Supplementing with frozen or live food will also help.
