:The pair should be separated, and conditioned on various live foods, such as [[tubifex]], white worm, etc. A flower pot with the bottom removed or something similar should be provided for the pair to spawn in. The male will chase the female quite passionately, and she should be provided lots of cover. | :The pair should be separated, and conditioned on various live foods, such as [[tubifex]], white worm, etc. A flower pot with the bottom removed or something similar should be provided for the pair to spawn in.

| − | + | |tank_compatibility=:This fish may be kept in community tanks with carefully selected tank mates. At can at first seem shy but as it becomes more bold in it's surroundings may become aggressive. It should therefore not be kept with smaller fish nor long-finned fish. Robust similar-sized fish that are not too boisterous should be suitable. | |
| − | + | |diet=:Prefers live/frozen food such as [[brine shrimp]] and [[bloodworm]]. May take flake or pellet food once it's settled into the tank. | |
| − | + | |feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day. They will accept food from the surface after observing it awhile but prefer it to sink to the bottom where they normally reside. They may be out-competed to food by faster swimming fish. | |

The caudal fin in fan-shaped while the dorsal fin runs from above the pectoral fin to the caudal peduncle and may be very elongate depending on the fish. Healthy males have a brownish-red back with with raspberry to red to blue flanks. The flanks are marked with red, yellow, and/or blue spots. The lower parts are orange to green. A black stripe extends from the mouth, through the eye, to the base of the dorsal fin. The dorsal fin is reddish and marked with green or red horizontal stripes.The other fins vary from blue to red in colour. | |
