− | :These fish are difficult to visually sex but mature females may be slightly broader in the mid-section when compared to slimmer males. | + | |tank_compatibility=:A generally peaceful large growing fish that should be kept with peaceful fish of similar size. Should not be a threat to smaller fish but avoid very small fish and fry, especially bottom dwelling. Thrive with their own species as long as they are in groups of 5 or more. |
− | + | |diet=:Primarily herbivorous and will eat the roots of plants and some algae. Feed sinking algae wafers and pellets as well as blanched veges. May take some live/frozen foods such as [[daphnia]]. | |
− | + | |feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day. | |
− | = | + | |environment_specifics=:Requires a spacious tank with fine gravel substrate, sand will be kicked up and may damage filtration. Will uproot plants, this can be avoided by making sure they are well fed. The tank should be at least {{in|60}} to {{in|72}} in length, larger is better. |
