Avoid pairing them with smaller fish that could be seen as prey.<\/p>\n<p><em>Aggression:<\/em> Generally non-aggressive, though they might exhibit territorial behavior if overcrowded or in confined spaces. Providing ample hiding spots and space can mitigate this behavior.<\/p>\n<p><em>Experience Level:<\/em> Suitable for intermediate aquarists due to their hardiness and ease of care. Attention to tank size, water parameters, and tank mates is crucial for their well-being.<\/p>\n<p><em>Water Parameters:<\/em> Maintain water temperatures between 72-78\u00b0F (22-26\u00b0C), pH levels of 6.5-7.5, and moderate water flow.
