Cultivation

  It is best to have it in acidic to neutral (6.5-8)  pH), soft to medium hard water. They live well in clean to slightly salty water.

They do not tolerate sudden changes in pH or hardness, which is the reason for the sudden death of these fish.

We only have one male in a small aquarium.

 

Food

  It feeds exclusively on the surface of the water, adores live food that it picks up from the surface (fleas, flies, larvae, ...)

Reproduction

  Viviparous. Females are larger than males.  Let's have it  at least three females per male.

The young are fed with Artemia nauplii and dry powdered food. More  look at  Nomorhamphus liemi

 

Interesting

  It is a very timid fish by nature, males are not tolerated.

It is a beautiful species with a silvery green body with red, black and blue spots on the fins.
