- 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.
