Care notes
Tiny and dazzling — vivid blue eyes and yellow-edged fins. Males display and spar with elaborate fin displays. Great nano fish for planted tanks. Peaceful and compatible with shrimp. Easy to breed.
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
