Temperament
They can be territorial at times and will fight with their mouths. We've found that it is good to get a pair so that when they are feeling aggressive they will chase each other around instead of the other tropical fish.

Breeding / Reproduction

Very difficult to breed because they require large tanks.

Tank Size

50 gallon or larger.

Compatible Tank Mates

Dwarf Gourami, Corydoras, Pleco, Serpae Tetra, Silver Dollar, Angelfish, Bala Shark, Cherry Barbs, Red Tail Shark, Rosy Barb, Tiger Barb, White Clouds, Zebra Danio, Clown Loach, Guppy, Platy, Swordtail
