Esomus longimanus is known for its long pectoral fins and slender body. It is a peaceful species suitable for community aquariums with similar water requirements. As a shoaling species, keeping them in groups of at least six is recommended to reduce stress and encourage natural behaviors. They prefer tanks with ample swimming space and a good cover of aquatic plants.
