Small size of the fish allows it to dwell even in nano tanks. Though, for this fish we wouldn’t recommend tanks smaller than 20 litres (5 US gallons). Tank decorations aren’t that crucial, however the fish demonstrates its best colouring is a well decorated tank with a dark substrate. Floating plants will create shadowed areas in a tank and make the fish feel safe, which will lead to forming of shiny orange red colouring of its body.
