This fish is very popular with all aquarists, from beginners to advanced.

They are a peaceful bunch most of the time but can show signs of aggression when crowded or surrounded by aggressive tank mates. Therefore, it’s important that their tank is big enough, and that they have suitable tank mates.

You should keep them in groups of at least four or more, they naturally stick together. The group should be made of mostly females since males are known to harass them. Reproduction is usually the only cause of aggressive behaviour.

Sexing these fish isn’t too hard and they are easy to breed. Females have an anal fin that spreads into a fan, whereas a male’s is pointier. Females are usually larger too.

Pregnant females will look even larger.Their bellies swell to be much bigger than other females.
