This is a variable marked
species with some specimens with or without the black blotch to
the dorsal fin. Aquarium Care: As this is one of
the longer snouted species it will be well suited to most community
tanks. A well planted tank with a soft substrate such as sand so
they can bury their snouts while searching out food. Diet:
Readily accepts a mixed and varied diet which includes granular
foods, tablet food, frozen bloodworm and good quality flake to name
but a few.
