Origin
Reference species: Australia and southern New Guinea; exact stock locality unspecified.
Reference non-breeding males are olive-brown with contrasting dark and pale-edged dorsal and anal fins. The vivid breeding appearance varies with sex and condition; this wild-caught 4 cm lot does not guarantee a male-only selection or finished breeding colour. Its nominal range includes northern Australia and southern New Guinea.
Provide mature filtered water, cover and broken lines of sight so subordinate fish can retreat. Offer suitably small live or frozen foods and accepted prepared foods, checking each fish eats. Confirm measured temperature, pH and salinity from the supplier; the broad tolerances recorded in nature are not a single ideal receiving regimen.
MBI-OTH-027 (4 cm): 40 fish per bag; maximum 8 bags per box.
