Keep your eye on the look out for this recently introduced breed, we don’t think it will be hard though. The new captive strain that was first introduced at Aquarama has been spotted by Aquascaperz all over the place for around $15-$20 a pop. We are sure to see the price go down as soon as more people start breeding this fish. No harder to keep or breed then your average Microgeophagus ramizeri, needing soft to medium hard water of low pH (5-6). They prefer water temperatures in the mid to upper eighties F but will do fine in the lower eighties F and of course a heavily planted aquarium. Photo above from Harn Sheng.
