Information: |
Found in rivers and lakes.
Feeds on insect larvae and small invertebrates. Oviparous, eggs
are unguarded. Found alongside P.brachypopterus
where they school together. A bit more rarer in the hobby than
P.brachypopterus. Aquarium care: Quite
a shy fish so would need a planted tank to make them feel safe
in their surroundings. Have at least 6 to form a group. |
