Small, peaceful and easy to keep, it's a lovely addition to a planted community tank, especially when kept in a decent-sized group where its subtle colours and flowing finnage really shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to slow-moving, densely vegetated streams and tributaries of the Amazon Basin in South America, where soft, tannin-stained water and dappled light are the norm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA deep, laterally compressed body in dusky rose-pink, with tall, extended dorsal and anal fins finished in bright white tips that stand out beautifully against darker plants and substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thoroughly peaceful schooling fish that should always be kept in a group of at least six, ideally more — in smaller numbers it becomes nervous and washed out in colour.
