ADULT SIZE: 8 cm
WATER CONDITIONS: Not critical
TEMPERATURE RANGE: 23-27 C
FOOD: Feed Arnoldichthys spilopterus small live-foods and fine grade dried foods
DISTRIBUTION: This species comes from Nigeria
AQUARIUM CARE: This is an active shoaling fish, and as such requires some open water, and preferably a current to swim against. Planting should be minimal, perhaps some typical African Anubias fairly low in the tank.
BREEDING: Fry are very small and require paramoecium as a first food.

Sorry no records.
Too many fish? Overstocked tanks stress the fish in many ways: competition for food and space, bullying from other fish, deterioration of water quality and increased concentration of disease vectors. A lightly stocked tank will always be easier to care for, with more stable water quality
