Comments: Lots of differing views on this fish but my personal experience of them is as follows.....
Prefer a dimly lit tank with lots of floating plants as they spend all their time at the surface. For feeding you can put some bloodworm in a net and lower it slowing beneath the water surface so that it floats for just long enough for them to feed. They also enjoy mini 'doromin' food pellets. They should not be mixed with small fish as they would soon disappear!!
