Relevant Information: |
Not seen in the hobby as exports from
the Guyana area are rarely heard of. If purchased from your LFS
as T.decaradiatus it is more likely to be T.
exillis. To see the differences in both species our factsheet
at www.scotcat.com/factsheets/t_exilis.htm
will explain more. Aquarium Care: Keeping both
species is not too much of a problem as long as the water is kept
clean and not too alkaline with a p.H.of between 6.5 and 7.0.
They do like a planted aquarium where they like to hide out during
the day. Diet: In the aquarium a good mixture
of dry food such as flake and tablet. Worm food such as bloodworm,
whiteworm and grindal. |
