A subtle dark lateral line runs along the body, adding contrast and enhancing its streamlined, high-energy appearance. When kept in a proper group, they create an impressive, synchronized display as they move together through the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"440\" data-end=\"614\"\u003eThis species is very active and requires ample open swimming space.
