Keeper notes
Breeds readily in freshwater; selectively bred for solid deep-red coloration. A higher-grade cherry morph with fuller, more saturated red than standard cherries. Identical easy care: stable hard neutral water, mature planted tank, algae plus supplemental feeding. Highly copper sensitive — avoid copper meds. Keep with their own kind or very peaceful nano fish to preserve color and fry.
