Information:
Lineage:
Part of the so called "Elegans Group" which
would place it in Lineage 5 and a revision in the
future could involve the resurrection of the genus
name Gastrodermus (Cope, 1878). Can sometimes
be difficult to identify, has two white stripes along
the body with a blackish stripe splitting them. All
fins have a yellow tinge. 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 a good quality flake.
