As with tetras, they like to stay in groups so don't just get one! They're hardy and easy to keep and provide a nice color or colorless change to your tank. i haven't had any issues with them being picky about eating but that may just depend on which fishes you get. A great addition to your fishtank. one of my favorite fishes to keep in a freshwater fish tank. As with tetras, they like to stay in groups so don’t just get one!

If you are a fish observer and get to know your Pristellas, you will know when they are stress, although they shouldn't be your primary indicator they will hide and swim low under quick changes in water condtions. As long as the water ph and hardness does not change too quickly they can easely adapt to a high ph and hardness (as in they still want to breed and eat well). But do yourself a favor and spend the extra bucks on purified water, $0.60/gallon @ Frys. The bad, these fish are picky on food, they will ignore flake food after giving them live food untill they really get hungry. They will also not eat left over food on the substrate. plants, rocks untill they are really hungry. DO NOT overfeed these fish if that's all you have in your aquarium, you will need to clean up after them. They are best keeped with bottom feeders, snails/shrimps and fish similar in size. Great fish for planted aquariums, very low bioload. NOT for small children, glass taping drives them nuts. Very hardy fish. It loves swimming in schools in will swim individually when feeling safe.
