Diet[edit]

Prefers live or frozen food such as bloodworm and brine shrimp. May also take flake and pellet food.


Feeding regime[edit]

Environment specifics[edit]

This fish is exceptionally sensitive to water quality. It requires a well matured tank with acidic water quality. It will not live long in tropical temperatures and so needs cool sub-tropical set ups with good current and oxygenation.
