This fish can easily be bullied, females should be introduced first and overall they should be the first species introduced to a tank to allow them to establish themselves.

| − | + | |identification=:A slender bodied fish with a pointed snout. As a juvenile it is orange with blue vertical stripes. As the fish matures and becomes an adult, the colouration becomes yellow with a series of broken blue horizontal stripes. The dorsal fin features three elongated rays and is red in colour accented with yellows and blues. The colours of the adult males intensify when in courtship, whereas the females colouration and overall appearance are more subdued. | |
