About This Species
A stunning and highly sought-after fish, prized for its sleek, torpedo-shaped body and dramatic coloration. A vivid red line runs from its nose through its eye, fading into a black line that extends to the tail, which is tipped with bright yellow and black markings. These are active, fast-swimming fish that require a large aquarium (at least 200 liters) with ample swimming space and good water flow. They are generally peaceful and make excellent additions to a large community tank with other similarly-sized, active fish. Their striking appearance makes them a true centerpiece species.
