• Peaceful schooling behavior: Thrives in groups of 6 or more, offering soothing, synchronized movement that livens mid-to-upper tank levels without aggression.
• Hardy and adaptable: Well-suited to both beginners and experienced hobbyists—tolerant of a range of water conditions while responding best to stable, slightly acidic to neutral water.
• Compact size: Small footprint (typically 2–2.5 inches), ideal for medium and large tanks where they form an impressive shoal without overcrowding.
• Community-friendly: Coexists with tetras, rasboras, dwarf cichlids, and peaceful catfish; excellent for multi-species tanks and display aquascapes.

Care & setup tips: Provide a well-filtered aquarium with moderate flow, dark substrate to accentuate colors, floating plants for dimming bright lights, and open swimming space. Aim for water temperature 22–27°C (72–80°F), pH 6.0–7.5, and regular feeding with high-quality flake, micro-pellets, and occasional frozen foods like daphnia or brine shrimp.
