Known for their shimmering emerald sheen and industrious personality, these bottom-dwellers are a staple for any community setup. They spend their days sifting through substrate for leftover morsels, helping keep the tank floor tidy while providing plenty of entertainment with their social, schooling behavior. These are hardy fish that appreciate a group of their own kind to feel truly comfortable in their environment.
Prefers soft sand or fine gravel to protect their sensitive barbels.
Best kept in groups of six or more to encourage natural shoaling.
Relishes a varied diet of sinking pellets, frozen bloodworms, and brine shrimp.
Adaptable to a wide range of water parameters but thrives with consistent water changes.
