SL excludes the caudal fin; the source maximum standard length is not typical adult total length. Group recommendations require sufficient floor area and hiding places and do not guarantee stocking capacity.
Diet and feeding
Focus on suitably sized small invertebrate foods. Monitor acceptance of sinking dry food and support thin individuals or poor competitors.
Same-species behaviour
The source recommends at least six; single fish or groups of two or three may be shy. This is not an algae-only utility fish.
