A beautiful and active fish that is recommended for a planted aquarium and a more dimmed environment that isn’t too bright which showcases their coloration best.
Due to its high activity level we do not recommend this fish as a Discus companion, its fast movement can spook your discus and stop them from eating during meals.
Fish Size Guide:
The ‘Maximum Size’ outlined below is the length this fish can reach as a full grown adult. For the actual size please use the select menu above.

On rare occasions you may receive larger specimens when small fish are unavailable, however the smallest should be expected unless the size is noted as “Large” or “Adult”.
