Reference young fish develop more body bars as they mature. Similar-looking affinis occurs in trade, so band number alone is not a complete identity diagnosis. The 4-6 cm tank-bred grade does not specify adult band pattern, sex or breeding pedigree.
Keeper guidance gives 20-28 C and pH 5.0-7.5. Provide an adult footprint of at least 210 by 60 cm, mature filtered water, oxygenation, shelter and a tight lid. Plants may be eaten. Offer varied foods with an appropriate plant component and avoid excess high-protein feeding; check temperament and space before combining fish.
MBI-OTH-033 (4 cm - 6 cm): 30 fish per bag; maximum 8 bags per box.
Order minimum: MBI-OTH-033: 30 individual fish. Price is per individual fish. Existing quotation and business terms govern shipment arrangements.
