In terms of behavior, Pencil Fish are peaceful and timid fish that are best kept in groups.

When it comes to care, Pencil Fish are relatively easy to maintain. They are hardy fish that can tolerate a wide range of water conditions, and they don't require a lot of space, making them a great choice for smaller tanks. They prefer a pH range of 6.0-7.0 and a water temperature of 72-82 degrees Fahrenheit. They also appreciate a well-planted tank with plenty of hiding places, and a gentle water flow. Our team will also provide guidance on the best water conditions and equipment for your Pencil Fish.

One thing to keep in mind when keeping Pencil Fish is that they are a schooling fish, so it is recommended to keep them in groups of at least 6. This not only adds to the visual appeal of your tank but also helps the fish to feel more secure and comfortable.
