Short description

Gogangra viridescens require well oxygenated water; provide them with a water current in the tank but add rocks or bogwood to create hiding places for them if they need to escape for a while. They are classed as a shoaling species so should be kept in groups of no less than 4 specimens. They will be peaceful to tank mates; this makes them good additions to mixed set ups with other fast swimming fish.
