For some unexplained reason an completely wacko if you ask me, the species profile on these fish is in the oddballs section!! And they are no labyrinth fish btw.

Lovely fish, easy to care for, top out about 2", I would recommend 2x weekly water changes with them as they seem to thrive more with water changes, peaceful fish, recommend them all the time.

They have a similar requirements to most similar rainbowfish.

Feed them a veggie heavy diet. Algae flakes work well mixed with other foods. They should eat just about anything that'll fit in their mouths. Flake, small pellets, bloodworms, mysis, brine shrimp, etc.

They should be in the "Cyprinids, Characins and Atherinids" section.
