Puntigrus pulcher

Puntigrus pulcher is a peaceful, schooling fish ideal for community tanks. It's recommended to keep them in groups of at least six to promote natural behavior and vibrant coloration. While they are generally peaceful, occasionally males can be more aggressive towards each other when establishing dominance. Providing plants and decor to create hiding spots can help alleviate tension. Ideal tank-mates include similar-sized, non-aggressive species. They are omnivores and enjoy a varied diet. Regular water changes and maintaining water quality are crucial for their well-being.
