Overview: Everything about this fish is beautiful. Nice streamlined, blue body with a nice pattern of black spots, and black fins with white highlights.

Setup Considerations: These are very active, open water swimmers, so they need a lot of space. While 4' aquariums would work, 6' or larger would be ideal.

Special Care Requirements: These guys are very feisty and will jump, so a tight lid is definitely a must.

Diet: Insectivore. In the wild they primarily feed on insects that hit the surface of the water. In aquaria, these guys are not picky and readily devour flakes, pellets, bloodworms, and shrimp.

Location: Wyoming, United States

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.
