Care notes

Deep red males (especially Glossolepis) with silvery-pink females. Active schooling fish. Best color develops with protein-rich diet and moderate to hard water. Rare in the hobby — sought-after by rainbowfish enthusiasts.

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.
