Devario xyrops are schooling fish, best kept in groups of five or more to promote natural behavior and reduce stress. They are generally peaceful but may exhibit fin-nipping behavior if housed in too small a school or with incompatible tank mates. It’s recommended to use dark substrate and provide plenty of swimming space along with areas to shelter using plants or driftwood.
