A very beutiful fish, does well with small schooling Tetras. Not really easy to spawn but well worth the effort. Make good parents after the first few attempts. Likes warm aquariums, would do well in a Discus tank.
Highly desirable and very popular. A German bred variety exists which has enhanced coloration.
