Aquarium Care:
They can be a little aggressive with other Brachyrhamdia’s
and it is important to have a few hiding places such as plants,
caves, and pipes to keep aggression down. Diet:
They are very greedy eaters, accepting dried and live food but
seem to prefer bloodworm. Remarks: Redescribed,
as Rhamdia marthae, in Zarske (2003). |
