Link2Hell Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 good water + good filtration + good food water around 7.5 pH with moderate hardness nice choice and not overly aggressive, I use to have multiple pairs in a 5'x18"x18" that bred and just flared up to each other Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat williamson Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Tops fish , they can be stressed to death and I tend not to feed to much or any meaty foods as they are greedy and will bloat and therefore die ( I stick with dry foods ). Other than that an all time favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
