Reference species: D’Entrecasteaux Islands, Papua New Guinea; actual collecting locality unspecified.
The accepted species was described from Goodenough Island; Smithsonian paratypes document the Apatabula River on Normanby. Venus is the supplier common name for this wild-caught 2-3 cm grade, rather than a measured adult dimension or a claim of a selected sex, collecting station or uniform mature colour.
Obtain measured holding temperature, water chemistry and established foods from the supplier before transfer. Prepare mature filtered housing with secure rocky resting places and circulation suited to the confirmed stream stock. Monitor individual food intake. An amphidromous life cycle includes a marine larval phase; it does not prescribe salt for the offered adult fish.
