To bring out its intense red colour, keep it in stable water with a dark or rocky backdrop and add hiding places in the foreground. Leave a clear area for swimming and avoid fish that are too dominant. This species deserves a calm environment for observation rather than an overcrowded tank.
The fish are shipped with care in secure isothermal packaging, including pure oxygen and, if necessary, a thermal gel pack.
