- Epalzeorhynchus erythropterus is a semi-aggressive fish often kept for its striking appearance.
- It can be territorial, especially in smaller tanks, and may harass other fish.
- Ensure plenty of hiding spaces and visual barriers within the aquarium.
- Best kept as a single specimen unless your tank is large enough to accommodate a sufficiently sized group.
- Known to jump, so a lid is recommended.
