This small fish is suitable for living in slightly acidic water at around 25 ° C, feeding artificial feed or small animal feed.

Compared with lemon lamps, Ruby lamps have a more uniform color and small body shape. Adults are generally only about 1.5-2 cm old and are concentrated in the middle layer. Its personality is milder. Although there is also a sense of territory, there is no advantage in fighting other fish.
There are three varieties of Ruby lamps commonly found on the market, namely red, yellow and silver. Which color looks better, everyone judges according to their own aesthetics. However, in terms of pattern and color distribution, the tail of Ruby Lamp is one of the highlights. There is a clear red band above the black spot, and there is a white dot in the middle of the red band, which looks hierarchical and more ornamental.
Ruby lamp is as timid as a lemon lamp, and it is less easy to color when frightened. However, if you look closely with a magnifying glass, you can see his two rows of jagged teeth, so that you can basically determine the carnivorous nature of Ruby Lamp. When mixed with other small fish, although Ruby Lamp has a sense of territory and sharp teeth, she is too small and most of the time only has a beating. Aquarists who want to polyculture and want To make Ruby light color, should consider polyculture schemes.
