Compatibility<h2>
</h2> There is some debate as to whether the species makes a good community fish or not. In general, we think it's best suited to a species tank. The elongated finnage of males is delicate and easily damaged, and some of the forms can find it difficult to compete for food with more vigorous tankmates. Males are also territorial and do better when given their own space. Females can be kept succesfully in quiet community tanks and tend to be happiest when maintained in groups of 6 or more.
If other species must be kept with fancy males, very peaceful, sedate species make the best tankmates. Possiblities include dwarf
Corydoras,
Otocinclus sp.,
and small shoaling species such as Trigonostigma or Boraras sp. Avoid any species with flowing finnage like guppies, as a male fighter may see these as competition and attack them.
Certainly, only one male should ever be kept per tank. If you want to keep females alongside one, it's best to buy a group so that no single female is subject to continual harassment from the male.
