- Evening (Treats / Supplement): Rotate frozen, live, or freeze-dried foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, or bloodworms 2 to 3 times a week.Â
- Portion Rule: Feed only what your fish can completely consume within 2 minutes to avoid overeating and fouling the water.
- Platies and Mollies: Share identical water parameter needs and livebearer habits.
- Guppies: Generally peaceful companions, though you should monitor male swordtail aggression.
- Zebra Danios: Fast, active swimmers that tolerate harder water well.
- Corydoras Catfish: Peaceful bottom-dwellers that keep to themselves.
- Tetras (Hard-water types): Lemon or black skirt tetras fit right in, but avoid soft-water species like neon or cardinal tetras.
