Information: |
H.notatus is often
confused with Hypoptopomatinae sp. LG2 from Paraguay, but its body
is more elongated and adult size is at least 1cm. longer. Aquarium
Care: Will feed on flake, algae, tablet foods and algae
wafers and they lay their eggs on plant leaves. They rest on aquatic
vegetation in the aquarium and the less light in the tank the darker
they become. |
