Compatibility
A peaceful and territorial species that will defend their territory from other tank mates. Mix with the same sized fish, as they will eat smaller fish. Adult males should be kept one per aquarium, as they tend to fight as ferociously as male bettas.
Habitat
China-Korea: Moderately decorated with live plants, driftwood and rocks.
Breeding
The male has the longer fins and deeper body colors. During spawning up to 500 eggs can be produced and are placed in the bubble nest the male has built.
Additional Comments
They are good jumpers, so a covered aquarium is recommended. The feelers under their body are used to check out new objects and fish in the aquarium.
