With a lively and active temperament, these pretty little fish will peacefully liven up your aquarium. They spend their day swimming through the vegetation. The males often solicit the females, but do not show themselves as instantly as other species.

However, they are a little shy and like to swim in the shade of large plants or floating plants. Note that the more they are numerous, the less fearful and reserved they will be.
