The Angler, or Frogfish, is a fascinating ambush predator which makes an incredible pet and conversation piece. Their stout bodies come in a wide range of colors and textures. They may be rather smooth or bumpy textured. Common colors include shades of brown and black, sometimes with stripes. Most Anglers grow to only 4 inches with some larger species rarely exceeding 8 inches. Because of their low activity level any of them may be kept in aquariums of 20-30 gallons in size.Anglers spend most of their time perched atop the rockwork surveying their surroundings and watching for a potential meal to pass by. Anything that swims or crawls may be considered edible- shrimp, crabs, and other fish, even those larger than itself may be eaten. For this reason the Angler should only be kept with snails and sessile invertebrates such as corals, sponges, tunicates and macroalgae.If hungry an anglerfish will extend its fishing lure from the top of its head and dangle it in front of its mouth. When prey comes close to investigate it is instantly sucked into the vacuum of the Angler's mouth. Many specimens become so tame that they extend their lure when they catch sight of their owner. They rarely swim, usually preferring to literally walk using their fins as feet, or sometimes gulping water and jetting it out the gills to propel themselves. We don't recommend lifting the Angler out of the water as it may occasionally gulp air and have trouble expelling it.They are carnivores and should be fed at least once every two or three days a high quality diet of krill, silversides and chopped seafood. They are heavy feeders and thus strong filtration is necessary. Live food may initially be necessary, and the fish trained to eat off a feeding stick.
Urchins have sharp teeth at their center which they use to scrape algae, including coralline algae. They are able to scratch acrylic so are recommended only for glass aquariums. Echinoderms such as urchins are extremely sensitive to changes in the water quality. They require well established aquariums for both water stability and sufficient food supply.This colorful animal is also called the Halloween urchin for its bright orange and black color. It eats a wide variety of algae, including macroalgae. If there is not enough algae to eat it may be fed dried algae sheets. It uses its tiny tube feet to collect small items and use them as camouflage. It is very reef safe, and only bothers corals if it is starving. It is typically collected from the Philippines and can grow to 4 inches.

Echinoderms such as urchins are extremely sensitive to changes in the water quality. They require well established aquariums for both water stability and sufficient food supply.This beautiful urchin has short, thick spines which may be light lavender to deep amethyst in color. It is omnivorous, eating algae and fish food. It is an opportunistic feeder and may not be safe with corals. It can grow to 6 inches.
Scorpionfish are fascinating ambush predators whose texture and coloration mimics a piece of the sea floor: some algae, sponge, coral or crinoid. They even move their bodies in waving motions as if they were debris being blown in the current. Sometimes they drift so far to the side they nearly fall over in a hilarious attempt to be unseen. Smaller animals will be swallowed whole with their huge mouths. They greedily eat all shrimp many crabs, and any small or slender bodied fish. They do not harm corals, sponges, macroalgae or snails. They generally ignore anything that cannot be eaten. Best tank mates are large bodied fish such as tangs, angelfish, groupers, triggerfish and puffers. Sometimes the slow moving scorpionfish may become a target for aggressive fish. Fish that graze on the rockwork may mistake the scorpionfish's body for algae and pick on them. scorpionfish don't fight with their own kind, however they may stress each other out, and for this reason if they are to be kept together the aquarium must be sufficiently large that they can be out of eyesight of one another. Occasionally the scorpionfish may shed its skin in order to clean itself.The tips of the scorpionfish's fins contain a toxin that can cause extremely painful wounds. The sting may be as mild as a hornet sting or much worse- great care should be taken when handling the scorpionfish, and children should never be allowed to put their fingers in the water with the fish.Scorpionfish feed by sucking in their food whole into their enormous mouths. They are carnivores and should be fed at least once every two or three days a high quality diet of krill, silversides and chopped seafood. Live food may initially be necessary, and the fish trained to eat off a feeding stick.There is nothing in the ocean quite like the Goose Scorpionfish. Its eyes sit at the top of its head, and its large mouth curves upwards giving it hilarious duck lips. Its huge dorsal fin is held erect, and it may have any sort of bizarre tassels, warts, cirri, stripes or spots, giving it a unique appearance sure to start a conversation. Its coloration is usually earthy shades of chocolate and coffee. The Goose Scorpionfish grows up to 9 inches and should be kept in an aquarium of at least 30 gallons.
Hermit crabs need to live inside of a snail shell in order to keep their soft bodies safe. Even with many shells available hermit crabs will occasionally kill snails in order to take their shell. Please ask our staff and we will be happy to supply you with some empty shells.These assorted species of crabs may come in colors such as green, grey and brown. Crabs are opportunistic omnivores and may eat corals, detritus, fish food, and anything else edible.
Mushroom corals receive most of their energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within their tissues. They will also benefit from occasional feedings of zooplankton and small meaty items such as brine shrimp. They are covered by a thick layer of mucus which helps them consume small edible particles, and they also absorb dissolved nutrients from the water. They are very adaptable and virtually pest and disease free.Mushrooms are peaceful with other corals so long as they do not physically touch them- they have been known to melt other corals, especially stony corals, in this situation. Different colors of mushrooms often co-exist well in close proximity. It is very uncommon, but possible, for large specimens to close around and consume small animals such as fish.Mushroom corals are easy to keep and are a popular first coral for beginners, often growing and multiplying quickly. They come in many color varieties and textures. The Blue Mushroom is smooth, sometimes with small bumps, and has a blueish to purple color. Several corals will be attached to a rock. Difficulty: Easy Growth Speed: Fast Lighting: Low-Medium Average Placement: Low Water Flow: Low-Medium Temperament: Semi-Aggressive Mushroom corals are easy to keep and are a popular first coral for beginners, often growing and multiplying quickly. They come in many color varieties and textures. The Common Brown Mushroom may be smooth or bumpy, and may come in any shade of earthy hue. Several corals will be attached to a rock.
This delightful animal is also known as the Thorny Star and comes in many colors, usually cream to black with numerous small colored bumps in a contrasting bright orange or white. It is similar to the Chocolate Chip starfish. It is usually found crawling on the glass or live rock searching for food. In nature it lives on sandy substrate sea grass beds. It is not reef safe and may eat many types of sessile invertebrates such as corals, sponges and anemones. It can be fed pieces of chopped seafood on the sand with the starfish placed on top.Echinoderms such as starfish are extremely sensitive to changes in the water quality. They require well established aquariums of at least 6 months for both water stability and sufficient food supply. It grows up to 12 inches and needs an aquarium at least 100 gallons.
Tunicates, or Sea Squirts, resemble sponges but are actually very complicated animals related to fish. Their adult form lives attached to hard substrate and filters the water for food, mainly bacterioplankton. A well established aquarium with a sand substrate will help to generate appropriate food. Additions of phytoplankton and occasional stirring of the sand, as well as minimal or no protein skimming, may help. We recommend Tunicates only be attempted by expert aquarists who can meet their demanding needs.This interesting animal comes in many colors but is typically earthy shades with contrasting dark stripes. It may grow up to 3 inches.
Anemones have a central mouth surrounded by stinging tentacles which can capture small creatures and deliver them to the mouth. The sting is often quite strong and capable of damaging corals and injuring fish. Small fish such as firefish and dragonets may accidently swim directly into the anemone and be killed. Large anemones such as carpets may even kill larger fish. The addition of a night light greatly aids fish in avoiding the anemones. The tentacles are often very sticky and can cause painful sores. Some animals are specially adapted to live within anemones, such as Periclimenes shrimp and Porcelain crabs.Anemones receive most of their energy from the light, which should be very bright. Metal halide is the preferred lighting for most anemones. Feeding should be at least twice weekly and consist of small meaty items such as Mysis or chopped krill. Large specimens may take diced fish.The foot of the anemone enables them to adhere to glass and also to crawl around the aquarium. They can also float in the water to move quickly. Newly introduced specimens often wander for some time before settling down. At any time it may relocate, and is prone to being sucked into powerheads; all pumps should be screened for safety. Its foot is delicate and should never be damaged. Protein skimming is recommended to oxygenate the water sufficiently. Stable water conditions are important, and anemones are only recommended for mature aquariums.This Caribbean anemone may grow up to 12 inches; common specimens are typically a cream to white color. It is one of the easiest anemones to keep, but still demands stable conditions. It prefers to hide its foot in the rockwork. It does not usually host clownfish, although occasionally Clarkii complex clownfish may host with it.

Congo Tetra Phenacogrammus interruptus Tetras are one of the best go-to fish for filling up some empty space in your aquarium. They are lively schooling fish that are quite active throughout the tank, creating a dazzling show of the metallic and bright colors they come in. Tetras are peaceful and do best with other peaceful community fish, preferring to be in groups of at least 6 to feel secure. Tetras max out at 2 inches, so they are best rated for tanks 10 gallons and upwards for a school of at least 6. Lots of natural foliage is recommended for the Tetra to weave through to create shady spots to rest and hide in. Tetras will accept many forms of food, such as high-quality pellet and flake foods, thawed brine shrimp, and freeze-dried shrimp. Congo Tetra Specifics Congo Tetra's are peaceful schooling fish, excelling when in schools of at least 6 in a tank that is 20g minimum, as they do max out at around 3". They prefer their temperature to be 75-81oF, pH between 6.0-6.2.

The Convict tang is a lovely fish with a creamy white body and yellow dorsal fin. Running vertically down its body are thin stripes in a deep chocolate color. It’s simple but bold pattern makes it quite unique among the tangs. Males and females are visually identical. The Convict tang can grow to be approximately 8 inches long and needs a large aquarium as an adult, we recommend at least 120 gallons or larger. It is one of the most peaceful tangs, and is the best candidate to be kept in a school with its own kind. Because of its more tranquil demeanor, and the fact that its scalpel is quite small compared to other tangs, it should be the first tang introduced to the aquarium.Members of the genus Acanthurus tend to have very round shaped bodies, and come in a wide range of sizes, some being on the smaller side and some becoming large and grand. This genus contains approximately half of all tangs, so there are lots to choose from. They don't appreciate living with tangs sharing the same shape, however are typically non-aggressive with other fish.Tangs are also called surgeonfish or doctor fish because they have at least one spine just in front of the tail which, when the tail is bent, can be stuck out and used as a threat display or weapon against competitive fish or predators. It is important to be cautious of this spine when handling the fish in a net. They feel most secure when there is plenty of live rock to hide in, as well as open space for swimming. In the wild some tangs live in schools, however in the confines of an aquarium it is usually best to have only one of each genus, or they may be extremely aggressive to each other. They are typically very peaceful with other types of fish.Care should be taken with tangs to ensure they do not catch external parasites, such as Marine ICH and velvet, to which they are very prone.Tangs do not eat coral or invertebrates and are considered reef safe. They are primarily herbivorous, and although they love to eat meaty foods, they must be fed plenty of marine algae in order to remain healthy and vigorous. Having a proper diet may also reduce aggressive behaviors; tangs naturally graze on algae throughout the day. Diet should include plenty of marine algae and Spirulina, frozen mysis shrimp, and other high quality items. They typically learn to eat dry foods easily. It is preferable to feed more than once a day, with an algae clip offered approximately every other day.
Anthias are active, colorful, reef safe, and generally quite peaceful fish. They pose little to no danger to any other aquarium inhabitant, other than small competing zooplanktivores, such as dart fish and flasher wrasses, which they may chase into hiding.The key to success with anthias is frequent feeding. Because of their activity level they have a very high metabolic rate, and should be fed a minimum of three times daily. Diet should include plenty of high quality meaty items such as frozen Mysis shrimp, marine algae and Spirulina, enriched brine shrimp and Calanus. Anthias are such enthusiastic feeders they usually learn to eat dry foods quickly, but if they are fussy the dry food can be mixed in with the frozen to encourage consumption. A refugium is helpful in supplementing the main aquarium with live prey items. Additional supplements and vitamins may also aid in maintaining the fish's vivid colors.Anthias are prone to jumping from the aquarium when startled or excited so we recommend a secure lid. In the wild most anthias species are found in huge shoals consisting of mainly females and juveniles. In the aquarium they are perfectly happy alone, but if a shoal is desired the aquarium must be of sufficient size to ensure the smallest and weakest fish have space to escape the larger and more aggressive members. A group of at least six females added together can work, and in time the largest fish transforms into the dominant male. He is typically brighter and more colorful than his harem. If he will be added together along with his shoal then as many females and juveniles as possible should be added.Cooper's anthias make a striking centerpiece to almost any aquarium. Their peachy colored body may shimmer gold on the flank, and their chin is bright white. Long trailing edges develop on mature fish's tails, which is intense cherry red with shimmers of blue edging in the right light. Males have a blood red blotch on their side, like a bleeding heart, and when displaying may exhibit a contrasting bright whitish to yellow streak along their back. It is also known as the Red Bar anthias. It grows up to 5.5 inches; we recommend an aquarium of at least 75 gallons for a single individual, larger for a group.
Distinctive orange stripes across a milky white background combined with a long snout mark the unmistakable Copperband butterfly. A single dark eyespot on its dorsal fin adds extra appeal. It grows up to 8 inches and needs an aquarium of at least 125 gallons. It is regularly imported from Bali and the Philippines.This species is normally quite peaceful and shy, and should not be kept with aggressive tank mates. It can be quite aggressive towards its own species; If several are to be kept together they must be added at the same time to a large aquarium. Butterflyfish do not show differences between males and females. They are related to angelfish, but lack the angel's distinctive cheek spines.A butterflyfish's favorite food is an anemone, so they should not be kept in the same aquarium with one unless it is guarded by aggressive clownfish. The butterflyfish knows to attack the anemone on its mouth, which does not sting, and will make a quick meal of it. Because of this behavior this species is often employed to rid an aquarium of pest anemones such as Aiptasia.This species does not typically nip on corals, however it may bother LPS, soft corals and zoanthids, clam mantles, sponges, and feather dusters. They do not usually bother other types of invertebrates such as crustaceans. They feel most secure when there is plenty of live rock to hide in, as well as open space for swimming. This species is difficult to feed and should be offered variety of meaty and herbivore preparations such as frozen Mysis shrimp, half shell clams, marine algae and Spirulina; it should be fed 2-3 times a day. Bloodworms or small live anemones may be used initially to entice it to feed. Soft food may also be pressed into the rock to provide grazing opportunities. Supplements such as Brightwell's Angelixer and Garlic Power may elicit a feeding response.

It grows up to 8 Inches and needs an aquarium of at least 125 gallons.Copperband butterflies collected from Australia are highly sought after because they readily accept normal aquarium foods, such as frozen shrimp. We have even had success feeding Vitalis brand pellets! Their survival rate is extremely high, unlike those from other locations which may stop eating, or never begin in the first place.This species is normally quite peaceful and shy, and should not be kept with aggressive tank mates.

Shrimp are active, entertaining and easy to keep. They shed their shells as they grow, and afterwards need to hide in the rock until their new shell hardens. Shrimp are highly excitable when food is present, and will do anything to get it. Some species may pester corals by attempting to reach food the coral has eaten. In this situation the shrimp should be provided food first. Large individuals may catch and consume smaller species.One of the largest and easiest to keep shrimp, the Coral Banded is also the best choice with larger fish, which may not bother it on account of its large claws. It is bright scarlet and pure white all over. Its long white whiskers communicate to fishes that it may clean them of parasites and old skin. It may not however cure an aquarium of ICH or other parasites; its main benefit is to lower the fishes stress. The Coral Banded shrimp spends most of its time within the rockwork and emerges at night or feeding time. It is aggressive towards its own species but occasionally forms pairs. It is an opportunistic feeder and may attack other crustaceans and small snails and worms. It grows up to 4 inches and is easy to feed on fish food.

The Coral Beauty angel a very colorful and popular fish. Its midbody and belly is typically a saturated orange to red, while the face, back and tail are a dark purplish blue. Many vertical stripes run over the body, through the orange. Many variants exist, sometimes with more or less orange on the body. Males and females are visually identical. The Coral Beauty angel can grow to be up to 4 inches long and needs an aquarium of at least 70 gallons. It does not appreciate living with other angelfish and may become aggressive to them, however it is typically non-aggressive with other types of fish. If several dwarf angelfish are to be kept together the aquarium must be large enough and they must all be added at the same time.Angelfish may nip on many types of corals, especially LPS corals, clam mantles, sponges, and sometimes soft corals. They do not typically bother other types of invertebrates. They feel most secure when there is plenty of live rock to hide in, as well as open space for swimming. Diet should include plenty of marine algae and Spirulina, Sponge matter, frozen Mysis shrimp, half shell clams, and other high quality meaty items. It is It should be fed 2-3 times a day.
Foxface are also known as Rabbitfish because of their incredible appetites for greens. They will eat nearly any type of food offered, including dry foods, but it is important to ensure they receive enough algae otherwise they become tempted to nibble on coral. Some species are more prone to this behavior than others. In the wild many species live amongst Acropora sp. and nibble algae off of the coral. When they do eat coral it is typically soft or LPS types. They do not harm any other type of invertebrate and are generally friendly towards all fish. Many species are found as pairs in the wild, and it is possible to keep two specimens together in a sufficiently large aquarium if they are of different sizes. It is best to add the two fish together, or the smaller individual first. In all other instances foxface usually bicker with each other. Foxface are quite hardy and may be added to newly set up aquariums.As herbivores foxface prefer to hide when threatened, and may change their color to a brown blotchy pattern to camouflage. This coloration is also normal during rest periods and may be visible in the morning. Foxface have shiny eyes that often appear to shimmer a turquoise color but may also at times appear glossed over. They also have a toxin in their dorsal fin rays which may cause a welt like a wasp sting. It is important to be cautious of these spines when handling the fish in a net. This defense means most aggressive fish will not bother them. They feel most secure when there is plenty of live rock to hide in, as well as open space for swimming. Foxface are often employed to rid aquariums of nuisance algae, and they often consume algaes that other herbivores won't touch. Diet should include plenty of marine algae and Spirulina, frozen Mysis shrimp, and other high quality items. It is preferable to feed more than once a day, with an algae clip offered at least once every two days.The Coral foxface is a beautiful fish with a bright yellow body and fins decorated with baby blue polka dots all over. Its face may have a dark mask over the eye. It is also known as the Blue Spotted Spinefoot. Because of their similar coloration, if this fish is to be kept with a yellow tang we recommend the foxface be added first, or it may be pestered by the tang. The Coral foxface grows to 9 inches and should be kept in an aquarium of at least 125 gallons.
Coral Rx Coral Dip - 8oz
Overview
Coral Rx was developed in 2006 for two purposes: to treat corals suffering with parasites, and as a prophylactic measure to promote healthy corals before parasites or bacterial infections become harmful. Coral Rx is tough on parasites, yet gentle on your coral (contains no iodine or oxidizers) allowing you to be proactive in protecting your investment.
Coral Rx was designed by keeping the health of your coral in mind. Our proprietary blend of natural ingredients contains no iodine, which is known to stain corals, nor does Coral Rx contain oxidizers whose by-products are often toxic and continue to react with surrounding tissue. Independent research also questions the effectiveness of iodine treatments.
Coral Rx removes many of the "hard to deal with" coral pests like Acropora-Eating Flatworms, Montipora-Eating Nudibranchs and Zoanthid-Eating Nudibranchs.

Coral Rx can be used in treating many types of live corals; soft, LPS and SPS. Coral Rx should be used in treating corals that have parasites or other bacterial infections. Additionally, it should be used as a prophylactic treatment before bringing live coral into your aquarium. Coral Rx is effective in removing the following parasites:
Acropora Eating Flatworms (AEFW)
Montipora Eating Nudibranchs
Bristleworms
Zoanthid Eating Spiders
Red Flatworms
Also aids in the treatment of:
Filamentous Hair Algae
Rapid Tissue Necrosis (RTN)
Slow Tissue Necrosis (STN)
Bacterial Infections & More
Coral Rx should not be used on fish, shrimp, crabs, snails, clams or other invertebrates. We have not tested CoralRx's effectiveness on Acropora Red Bugs.
Directions
Shake bottle of Coral Rx. Add 20ml or 4 capfuls of Coral Rx to 1 gallon (3.8L) of saltwater from aquarium. Mix well. Using a small power head, keep the water moving and place coral in the coral dip. If you do not have a power head, gently shake coral in the coral dip. Keep coral in dip for 5 - 10 minutes. After 5 - 0 minutes, remove coral and discard the coral dip. Do not reuse coral dip as parasites may release toxins. Rinse coral with clean saltwater and return to aquarium.
Do not add Coral Rx Pro directly into aquarium.
Coral Rx Pro Coral Dip - 1oz
Coral Rx Coral Pro 1oz
Overview
Coral Rx was developed in 2006 for two purposes: to treat corals suffering with parasites, and as a prophylactic measure to promote healthy corals before parasites or bacterial infections become harmful. Coral Rx is tough on parasites, yet gentle on your coral (contains no iodine or oxidizers) allowing you to be proactive in protecting your investment.
Coral Rx was designed by keeping the health of your coral in mind. Our proprietary blend of natural ingredients contains no iodine, which is known to stain corals, nor does Coral Rx contain oxidizers whose by-products are often toxic and continue to react with surrounding tissue. Independent research also questions the effectiveness of iodine treatments.

IN a saltwater aquatic environment, debris and other organic materials can dissolve into fine particles which cannot be removed with a carbon cartridge alone; protein skimming is needed.Protein skimming is the process of using micro bubbles (or foam) to lift dissolved debris from water, making water cleaner, clearer, and healthier for saltwater livestock and corals.The Coralife Marine Filter with Protein Skimmer has an adjustable air flow dial that controls the volume of micro bubbles generated. Debris is collected in a cup that can be easily removed and emptied.Features Protein skimmer with removable collection cup - Skimmer cup collects debris and harmful waste from water - maintenance is quick and easy. Motor equipped with needle wheel impeller optimizes skimming by creating more bubbles then a traditional pump. Multiple filtration layers for diminished micro bubble entry into the aquarium. Reduced maintenance with optimally designed skimming collection cup. Skimming not affected by water level fluctuations. Adjustable air flow controls volume of micro bubbles thus controlling intensity of skimming bubbles. Phosphate remover specialty media pad helps to remove excess phosphates that contribute to algae growth, traps waste, food and other organic debris.

This coral receives much of its energy by utilizing the photosynthetic algae contained within its tissues. It also depends on absorbing nutrients from the water, and will benefit from occasional feedings of zooplankton and coral snow. Zoanthids are often covered in a heavy mucus layer which helps them capture prey. Many types may be voracious feeders if offered meaty items, especially those corals with long tapering tentacles. Their sting is quite mild, however they can grow fast enough to over-grow other corals, so adequate space should be provided to accommodate future growth. Those species with shorter tentacles typically require higher water flow than those with longer tentacles, and all types will benefit from bright light.Most species contain toxins in their mucus and tissues, including the potent neurotoxin palytoxin, which may be dangerous to humans. It is important not to underestimate this toxin- gloves are highly recommended when handling this coral. Sand Zoanthus polyps may be any of nearly limitless colors, often pink, red, or green, often with contrasting skirts or mouths in a different color. Different color varieties may grow next to one another peacefully, so it is possible to create a rainbow garden. Collected from Australia, each colony is unique.Sand Zoanthus polyps are a type of Zoanthid, also called colonial anemones. They grow in a cluster by budding, and are attached at the base by runners or a mat. Occasionally blowing the colony with a baster or powerhead will help clear detritus from between the polyps and discourage nuisance algae. They are very hardy and are quite tolerant of poor water quality. However, they may be prone to pests such as predatory nudibranch, sundial snails, spiders, some Asterina sp. starfish, and zoa pox infection. Dipping the coral before adding to a display aquarium is highly recommended. Some fish may also nip on them.

The Cream angel is a subtle beauty with a body that fades from creamy white at the head to velvety black at the rear end, with a latticework of black markings over the entire body. Its whole tail is yellow, and a black band runs over its eyes. The edges of its rear fins is edged in whitish blue. It is similar in appearance to the Singapore angelfish, however it is more aggressive. Males and females are visually identical.The Cream angel can grow to be approximately 8 inches long and needs an aquarium of at least 125 gallons. It may become aggressive, especially towards other angelfish. Because of this it should be the last fish added to the aquarium.Angelfish may nip on many types of corals, especially LPS corals, clam mantles, sponges, and sometimes soft corals. They do not typically bother SPS corals or other types of invertebrates. They feel most secure when there is plenty of live rock to hide in, as well as open space for swimming. Diet should include plenty of marine algae and Spirulina, Sponge matter, frozen Mysis shrimp, half shell clams, and other high quality meaty items. It should be fed 2-3 times a day.
Creamsicle Molly Poecilia sphenops Molly fish are a hardy, easy fish that can be acclimated to either salt or freshwater. They are compatible with smaller community fish and larger fish. Mollies tend to have a bigger appetite than most fish, so it is recommended to have a good filtration system to make up for the extra feedings they will want. Mollys can grow to a length of 5 inches, and while they do not school they do swim in a shoaling pattern, so they prefer to be with their own kind. A group of 5 is recommended for them to feel safe in the aquarium. They are omnivores and prefer both meaty foods and algae. High quality flake food should be given alongside freeze-dried bloodworms and brine shrimp.
