If the ph is suitable a small group would make an interesting addition they are territorial and would defend their patch but if you put a small pile of rock work in they will calim this as their own and are likely to set up a matriarchal group with a dominant female and male. They will breed like rabbits but you will get the opportunity to witness what has to be among the most impressive social behaviour of fish going as all the fish will defend the young its fantastic to watch if I had a 3 footer to spare a tank would b e set up just for these lovely fish.

Completely agree with Alan on this, the day I sold them I regretted it. Not the most rare of species but great to watch, the males look great aswell. I don't know how well they'd work in your tank though; they're very teritorial when breeding. Though I did have a zebra danio (last of a shoal) in with them, with it being fast and staying at the top the Brichardi didn't seem too bothered.
