Medium-Difficult, mostly because it needs a well established tank care
Peaceful, but when breeding, the male guards the eggs and can and will be very aggressive. If there are 2 males in a tank smaller then 30 gallons and without plenty of hiding places, they will show territorial disputes between them. Middle dweller

Water
Singapore tap water vs its needs
Adjusting pH the natural way — Singapore tap water (pH ~8.0) sits above this fish's ideal. Soften and gently lower pH the natural way — driftwood, catappa (Indian almond) leaves or other botanicals. Skip chemical "pH-down".

3/5
Sensitivity Index — Moderate
Adaptable, but happiest with stable parameters in a matured tank.
