The Cyclocheilichthys janthochir is a peaceful schooling fish, making it ideal for community tanks. They thrive when kept in groups of five or more. Because of their active nature and inclination to swim at various water levels, a larger tank allows for adequate space and reduces stress. They are omnivores and benefit from a varied diet that includes algae, insects, and commercial fish pellets. Regular water changes and a well-maintained aquarium environment promote health and longevity.
