Type locality:
Rio Pelotas, Volta Grande 2, Marcelino Ramos, RS Brazil. The Holotype
is in the personal collection of M.Godoy. They are a very variable
species, colour wise and as they they get older they can change
colour into adulthood, especially the yellowing in the fins. Diet:
Will eat all manner of foods in the aquarium, vegetable, tablet,
pellet foods and good quality flake. Will need a good sized aquarium
due to their final adult size. |
