Don't be surprised by the price of this fish if you ever come across it. These fish are not at all cheap, and if you can afford it, a small school of these fish would make a delightful addition to any planted or unplanted community freshwater aquarium. Hiding places are not necessary, but preferred for these fish to rest in between swimming around the aquarium. They will bring hours of fun and enjoyment to any freshwater hobbyist. Note how much the pattern changes as the fish grows.
Most pictures show juvenile fish.
