Other Comments: Fry can be raised in soft tap water but adults are prone to Oodinium if kept in soft water. Does best in medium hard water. I keep them in room temperature which varies between 20-25°C during the year. Undemanding species, active but easily afraid, not as brave as some other Nothos. Eggs develop quite fast, 8 weeks in room temperature, during summer even faster.
