This species is very peaceful and it makes an ideal companion alongside shrimp of the Caridina and Neocaridina.

It’s a schooling species by nature and really should be kept in a group of at least 8-10 specimens. Maintaining it in decent numbers will not only make the fish less nervous but will result in a more effective, natural-looking display. Males will also display their best colours and some interesting behaviour as they compete with one other for female attention.

Max size: around 2cm
