Important Notes & Considerations

• ⚠️ WATER SENSITIVITY: While hardy once established, they can be sensitive to rapid changes in water parameters. Drip acclimation is highly recommended. They require clean, stable water conditions.

• 🔰 SECURITY IN NUMBERS: Keep in a school of 6 or more. In smaller numbers, they may become stressed and reclusive.

• 🐟 TANKMATES: Must be kept with other peaceful, small tank mates. Avoid large or boisterous fish that will outcompete them for food or see them as a snack.

• 🌑 PREFER DARK SUBSTRATE: A dark substrate and background will help reduce stress and make their incredible colors pop even more.
