Melanotaenia boesemani is known for its striking coloration, with vibrant hues of blue and orange. It is recommended to keep them in groups (at least 5-6) due to their schooling nature. This ensures they display more natural behavior and reduces stress levels. They're active and peaceful, making them excellent tank mates for other similarly sized community fish.
