Detailed Description:

Usually these fish are very gentle. Their size should demand respect however they will most likely make good tank mates with much smaller fish. Physically these fish are light tan in base color with a wide and dark horizontal stripe.
These fish should be kept in groups, 3 or more is a good number. Make sure you have the space for them.

Water that is clean and that has moderate current is recommended. Good filtration will be needed to keep the water clean, as well as typical water changes.

This fish should be fed meaty foods and vegetables. Standard foods will work fine.
