Pethia manipurensis, a peaceful and sociable species, does well in community tanks with similar-sized and non-aggressive fish. Their tank should be well-decorated with plants, rocks, and driftwood to mimic their natural habitat. In terms of feeding, they are omnivorous and readily accept high-quality flake foods, small live foods like daphnia and brine shrimp, and vegetable-based items.
