Keep in mind
| Sensitive during transportation |
|---|
|
This species is very sensitive during transportation and acclimatizing into the aquarium. |
| Frequent feeding |
|---|
|
This fish requires feeding several times a day, especially when newly added. When the fish can find its natural food in the aquarium it requires less frequent feeding. |
| As a pair or in a shoal |
|---|
|
This species is happiest as a pair or in a shoal. A shoal should consist of 1 male to 5 or more females. They can be aggressive towards each other, so in a small shoal there can be aggression towards one specimen, but this can disappear over time. |
| Docile |
|---|
| This species is very shy and docile, so one should be careful when keeping it with more aggressive fish. |
| Bred in captivity |
|---|
|
This species can be bred in captivity, one can therefore consider asking your local fish store for a captive bred specimen. |
| Hiding amongst stony corals |
|---|
|
This species likes to hide in and amongst the branches of corals, e.g. Acropora coral and will also do well if they can find other hiding places. |
| Shoals |
|---|
|
These fish swim in shoals at the fish store or when newly introduced into the tank. Some aquarists report that after a while in the aquarium, their fish stop this behavior and can then become aggressive towards each other. |
