Boisterous, avoid peaceful fish, also prone to fin-nipping so avoid gouramis andangelfish and any other species with flowing fins i.e. siamese fighters and guppyies.
Extremely hardy little fish, its naughty behaviour rules it out of the community tank, but it can be kept with most other barbs and rasboras. it can be found in several varities from all green to albino white. If kept in large groups (i.e.10) some of the fin-nipping behaviour is avoided, as the fish keep themselves occupied.
