This species is typically peaceful, making it a perfect addition to a well-planned community aquarium.
It thrives when housed with other similarly-sized fish, such as characins, gasteropelecids, lebiasinids, smaller callichthyid or loricariid catfish, and non-aggressive, small-to-medium cichlids.
For the best experience, consider purchasing a mixed-sex group of at least 8-10 individuals. Pairing them with other schooling fish will help them feel secure, creating a more natural and captivating display in your tank.
