Diet: Omnivorous. High-quality dry foods will be accepted but should be supplemented often with small, meaty frozen and live foods.
Social behaviour: Shoaling, and should be kept in as large of groups as possible. Peaceful with most other comparably sized fish but is timid and can be outcompeted for food. Usually compatible with adult dwarf shrimp and other invertebrates.
Origin: Indigenous to Indonesia, New Guinea, Northern Australia
