Minimum Tank Size Recommendations: Because of the size of this species and the fact that they must be fed live baby brine shrimp and/or copepods, selecting the right tank is crucial. Generally we recommend keeping small herds in 2 to 5 gallon tanks. Advanced aquarists may find success in larger tanks, but generally you will need a larger herd for larger tanks.
Water Temperature: 72 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. 22 to 25 degrees Celsius.
H. Zosterae require live foods! You must be capable of supplying live baby brine shrimp to successfully keep this species!
