With its dark body and contrasting fins, this fish adds a touch of elegance to any large aquarium.  \u003cem\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/em\u003e Originating from Southeast Asia, specifically in rivers and streams of Thailand, Borneo, and Sumatra, these fish thrive in warm, fast-flowing waters.  \u003cem\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/em\u003e These omnivorous fish readily accept a variety of foods, including high-quality pellets, flakes, and live or frozen fare like bloodworms and brine shrimp.
