Water Quality
· Temperature: 22°C - 26°C.
· pH: 7.0 - 7.5
· General Hardness: 100 - 150 ppm.

They are very aggressive to their own kind, which increases as they grow, so only 1 specimen should be kept in the home aquarium.
They can also be aggressive with smaller species and are not suited to a community tank with small Tetra species.
However, they can be kept successfully in a larger community tank with other species of Barbs, Gouramis and Rainbows.
