Small size of the fish allows it to dwell even in nano tanks. Though, for this fish I wouldn’t recommend tanks smaller than 20 liters (5 US gallons). Tank decorations aren’t that crucial, however the fish demonstrates its best coloring is a well decorated tank with a dark substrate.
Considering the above mentioned a small Aquascape or Nature Aquarium will be good for the fish. Floating plants will create shadowed areas in a tank and make the fish fill safe, which will lead to forming of shiny orange red coloring of its body.
