Relevant Information: |
Said to be a cross between Leliella
sp."red" (which was thought to be a form of Leliella
heteroptera) and Hemiloricaria lanceolata which
gave us this red form. There is a train of thought that takes
us back to the 1970s in the old East Germany (in Leipzig) where
they say that the first juveniles appeared. Whatever the mystery
this species has proved very popular and has been bred in the
hobby on numerous occasions. Aquarium Care: As
with all Rineloricaria provide long leaved plants or
bamboo stalks for them to hang on to as you can see in the second
thumbnail image. Diet: Omnivore. Vegetable food
such as cucumber and other various foods such as tablet, flake
and frozen. This species is very variable in the red colouration.
