Very colorful addition to any community tank with the bright orange and black coloring. They love to swim in and around plants as a school. Only thing to be careful of is that these fish have a reputation ( and well desired ) of being a fin nipper. So watch your other fish around these guys. Perfect for people who have low pH tanks. |
