Unlike most Tetras, the sailfin does not school, they can be territorial so best kept in groups of one male to three females. They well live happily with other small tetras, dwarf cichlids and cory catfish. It can be timid so would benefit from plants,(especially floating plants) bogwood and caves in it’s environment. They like daphnia and other frozen ,meaty food, Tetra prima or such like food would be an excellent food to feed them as they like to track its food before it sinks. Males are more colourful and dorsal is more prolonged.
