Plan the group rather than copying a tetra shoal rule
Anostomus anostomus and A. ternetzi are separate named species. The Striped A. anostomus can quarrel with its own species when kept in a small group; do not add two simply because both are sold as headstanders. Check the social arrangement and adult space for the fish you intend to keep, and have a separation plan.
Check a headstander stocking planProvide suitable grazing food and a prepared habitat
For Striped A. anostomus, plan well-oxygenated water, suitable movement, stable cover and a diet that includes vegetable material as well as appropriate small foods. It may eat plants, so do not choose it only as an algae-cleaning accessory for a delicate planted layout. Assess the Goldstriped A. ternetzi offer separately rather than transferring every condition from the Striped fish.
