Information: |
Part of the so called "Elegans
Group". Can sometimes be difficult to identify, has two white
stripes along the body with a blackish stripe splitting them. All
fins have a yellow tinge. Aquarium Care: This is
akin to most of this genus, very peaceful, and would be best housed
with small to medium sized tankmates such as Tetras, Rasboras and
Danios or in a species tank for breeding purposes.
Best to purchase 6 individuals or more as they will be happier
in a group. 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. |
