Overview:

This fish needs no introduction. A favorite nano fish of many aquarists due to its pleasing pattern, bright colors, and peaceful disposition. Their color makes them look like tiny Brook Trout. The species has a limited natural range. Luckily, fish farms around the world are breeding and raising them in large numbers so keeping them does not negatively impact natural populations. These are commonly referred to as "CPDs" in the trade.

We have found that if they are kept in large groups, they are quite bold little fish. If kept in smaller numbers, they can be shy and retiring, at least until they learn that their owner is the source of food.

Setup Considerations:

These undemanding nano fish that can be kept in anything from a bare-bones tank with a sponge filter to a finely aquascaped aquarium with high-tech filtration. The can be housed in small tanks or very large ones. They do appreciate places of refuge where they can hide if they feel threatened.

Diet: Omnivore

Water Parameters: We keep all our fish at a temperature of 79 F.

Our pH measures around 8.3 with a KH and GH a bit over 300ppm. That being said, we want to caution folks with different water parameters from thinking that they need to change their water for our fish. We have many customers in the Pacific Northwest, Upstate New York, and other areas that have very soft water. Our fish do just fine in their water without any parameter matching. What is most important is that the water our fish are put in upon arrival have steady parameters, not that your water parameters match ours.
