| Fast Facts | AVAILABILITY NOTE This fish is not too rare, it is however not always around, and when it is, it sells FAST! Contact us to get on the waiting list for this item and to jump on it immediately if you want one! PLEASE NOTE: This is a restricted species and is not covered by our live arrival guarantee. This red and white beauty is only suitable for the experienced aquarist. It is difficult to maintain and does best when housed in pairs or groups. It can also be housed with other members of the genus. This fish rarely behaves aggressively towards heterospecifics. Like all in the genus, it is prone to jumping out of open aquariums. Turning lights off and on gradually and keeping a night light on at night may help prevent them from jumping. |
