Copella carsevennensis are small, graceful fish known for their unique breeding behavior known as "splashing," where male fish encourage females to lay eggs on leaves above water. The tank should be well-planted to simulate their natural habitat, and a tight-fitting lid is recommended given their jumping tendencies. They are peaceful, making them suitable for a community tank with other non-aggressive species.
