Practical Fishkeeping | Spring 2017
DWARF STARS
The perfect show fish for a small community tank is apparently a big ask. Contenders for the role need to be dinky, in the sub-10cm region as well as peaceful. That’s a rocky start right there. On top of that, they need to be colourful, and prepared to show themselves off. Ideally they’ll have character, not just mindlessly shambling about like underwater zombies. The thing is, we’ve had some near perfect fish for about a century. They’re the dwarf acaras of South America, and it’s high time they fell back into favour. Between the handful of different species, there’s something for everyone, from the frivolous
newcomer looking for colour, to the devoted breeder looking for a rarity to covet.
