Care & Aquarium Setup
Provide a stable environment with clean, conditioned water and regular maintenance. Include gentle filtration and hiding spots such as plants, driftwood, and ceramic caves to mimic natural territory and reduce stress. A moderate current and dimmed lighting help mimic natural behavior and bring out color.

Offer a varied diet to support vibrant coloration and health. Good options include high-quality flakes or pellets supplemented with live or frozen foods such as daphnia or mysis shrimp. Feed in small portions to prevent overfeeding.
