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. |
