For those wishing to keep these fish, here are some observations which might be helpful :
1. They are tolerant to local Delhi water. Long live natives !!
2. They are tiny, really really tiny. Hence keep them away from big aggressive mouths.
3. They have made very good friends with neons. I was a bit surprised at first, but the neons swim together with the brittani school.
4. Corys and rasboras were curious at first, but once satisfied that these are harmless fellows, left them at peace.
5. They have small mouths, hence micro pellets are good feed for them. However, neons also love micro pellets, so one has to divert the attention of the bigger group by throwing in some flake food etc.
6. I still haven't checked with Andrewda as to their native environment, but clean water definitely appears to suit them. But then clean water suits every fish, doesn't it ?
7. They love a gentle current in the tank.
8. They are also very very curious about their surroundings, but surprisingly don't go near the filter inlets !! Very clever little fellows.
If you have a large enough tank with enough swimming space and like to keep peaceful community species - call Andrewda NOW !!
Once again - long live natives !!
