Haludaria fasciata is a vibrant, peaceful fish known for its lateral black bands and active schooling behavior. Ideal for community tanks, they complement a variety of similarly non-aggressive species. They're very active fish and need to be kept in good sized group of 10 or so individuals to get the best out of them. They're very happt at 22c, which makes them a really enjoyable fish for unheated aquariums.
