I have had threadfins in the past and they were indeed lovely fish. When the males display it's a sight to see! The best ratio is several females to a male and you'll then get to see them displaying at their best. I gae them finely crushed flake food as they have larger mouths and tiny throats. They can be kept with more peaceful fish as in nothing too active. I had mine in with cardinal tetras.



Not sure what conditions they need for breeding though
