They are best housed with other appropriately sized, active community species. As with many barbs, keeping a proper group is important, and caution should be used with very slow-moving or long-finned tankmates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coloration, size, pattern, and sex naturally vary between individual fish.
