Aquarium Care: R. latirostris adapts to its surroundings to the colouration of the substrate that it is sitting on. The third thumbnail down shows this trait. Better to be kept at the cool end of tropical temperatures due to the proximity that it is found in. Reproduction: Lays up to 200 green eggs. The male may be nervous if disturbed but rearing the fry separately poses no problems. Diet: Omnivore. Vegetable food such as cucumber and other various foods such as tablet, flake and frozen.
