Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers
Regarding mixed swimming, first of all, the character of the daisy moroko is mild-mannered. For this reason, it is recommended to mix them with species of the same size or medium-sized species such as rosy bitterling.Since the fin moroko is an omnivore, it is necessary to be careful when mixing with smaller species, as they may chase after them. Also, if the mixed species is a territorial species or a species that chases, it may cause stress and weaken the fish. If you are worried about having them swimming together, we recommend that you add more aquatic plants to the tank to create a hiding place for them.

Points about spawning
Many people who keep daisy moroko want to breed them. In the wild, the chick moroko spawn from June to September. If kept in captivity, the timing when the water temperature reaches around 20 degrees Celsius is the signal for spawning. When it is time to spawn, males turn golden in color and have a very small trailing star on their pectoral fins. The female extends a black tube called an oviduct from near her rump.When mature males and females are present, they spawn on water plants. They hatch in approximately 24 hours when the water temperature is 25°C. As fry, they consume yokelsacks (nutrients received from their parents) like other species, and then they should be fed with fry food. The fry then grow to adulthood in one year.
