Relevant Information: |
Dorsal 1/7;
Anal 1/5; Head short and compact. Body colour reddish/brown with
glimmers of greens/blues when in good condition. All fins have
an ochre to orange colouration with no markings. Black band running
through eyes. 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. |
