This splendid fish is endemicly (i.e. only there and nowhere else) found in several coastal rivers of South India. That is why only small quantities may be caught and exported as aquarium fish. You keep this fish best, which is used to flowing waters, in biggest tanks possible in a shoal. The feeding with frozen food and flakes is unproblematic. These animals are peacefully to other fish and also among each other. So far there are no news about a succesful breeding. (Photo F. Schäfer, Text K. Diehl)
