Gardner's splendid carp

About me: Hello, I am a blue lyretail and need sandy or peaty substrate to feel comfortable. The more varied you feed me, the more I will thank you with my colorfulness! Generally I don't get along well with my male colleagues, so you should keep me best with two females and one male. Unfortunately, I sometimes eat juveniles of my species, so caution is advised here.
