Four are located on the rear half of the body, while the final is located near the base of the pectoral fin. A black marking runs along the mouth, while another runs through the eye. The fins are dark green-yellow. The fish jump very well!

Male is larger with a pointed anal fin and is seen in a variety of colorations. Female is brownish red with a rounded anal fin. Easy to breed. Water temperature between 24-26 °C. The tank should be darkened, planted with fine-leaved vegetation and Riccia on the surface. Breeding can be induced with one female with several males. As many as 200-300 eggs are laid on plants which, since the parents will eat the eggs, should be removed after spawning is complete. Replace removed vegetation with new plants since the spawning extends over a period of weeks. The eggs will hatch in 8-10 days and the fry should be fed micro food. The fry are sensitive to infusoria.
