Do you have any info about this kind of fish?
Mine have a red line, and when there is no light it disappears.
After I turn on the lights in the morning, it re- appears within a couple of hours!
How and why does this happen? Any clues?
Thanks!!
 
I have had them for a few years- lovely fish-

They are fairly hardy fish which are very active and tend to school. I have kept them in pH 7.4, gh 6dg and 78 dg F temp. They are in with angels, bristlenose, monty swords and clown loach. In the wild they are found in flowing, well oxygenated water.

Even though they are a fairly peaceful fish, I think they will fight among themselves if they dont have sufficient space. Because they are so active and get to 5-6 inches, they tend to intimidate smaller schooling fish such as tetras. My cards when from schooling in the open to hiding in the plants when I introduced the barbs. I rehomed the cards.
