This population was only recently discovered, and is just
beginning to be introduced to the hobby. Though it is the
same species as the red Los Berros popuation, also being
worked with at Select aquatics, it is different in a number
of ways. Our experience has been that this fish is far more
prolific than the Los Berros, and the Los berros has been in
the hobby for many years. In fact, the all red fish worked with
here has been selectively bred to emphasize and bring out that
red color. The Puente Pino suarez are entirely wild fish, and
though you will have occasional males with beautiful orange
bodies, all have those striking orange fins outlined in black.

Most broods will be 10- 15, but the females breed more
consistently, where with the Los Berros a female may produce
only 2 spawns over the course of their breeding season
(roughly May to October at this fishroom). In an aquarium
placed in an area without seasonal cues, they may breed
year around.

Females are nearly identical to the females
of other populations of Lateralis.
