Are they readily available? I dont think I ever noticed them before in fish shops etc.
Do they need to be in groups then? Thanks for the help

Hi Catherine,
Ps. annulatus are not too common in shops but do crop up from time to time. One male to two females would be the best ratio. The males tend to be a bit scrappy towards each other, but nothing really becomes of it. Males will flare and posture and will develop a definate pecking order. They can be kept sucessfully in community aquariums with other small species and I would give them some cover by using some floating plant such as Salvinia. The guppies would be my only worry as they might possibly harass them. Regards BigC |
