Important Care Facts
Salinity Changes: Juveniles often hatch in freshwater rivers. As they mature, they must slowly transition to brackish water and eventually full saltwater for long-term health.
Schooling Behavior: You must keep them in a group of 5 or more. If kept alone, they become highly stressed, lose their color, and hide constantly.
Tankmates: They are boisterous, fast swimmers. Pair them with active fish of a similar size like Archerfish, Scats, and Colombian Shark Catfish. Avoid small fish, as they will get eaten.
Diet: They are greedy omnivores. They love frozen foods (brine shrimp, bloodworms) but also require plant matter like flake food containing spirulina, or they will eat live aquarium plants.
