Relevant 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 good quality flake.
