Iguanodectes spilurus is a peaceful shoaling species, often kept in groups of six or more to prevent stress. - They display stunning iridescent green stripes with striking red-tipped tail fins. - Regular water changes and a well-filtered aquarium are essential, as they are sensitive to deteriorating water quality. - Planted tanks with ample swimming space are ideal for these active swimmers. - Diet should include a variety of high-quality flake, live, or frozen foods to encourage good health and coloration.
