Retroculus Lapidifer and Metynnis Fasciatus

Post by rob rensen »

The group of retroculus contains 13 fish and the metynnis 15. They are now in a 2.50 x 70 x 70 tank. At the end of the year they are moving to a new tank, 2.50 x 1.04 x 0.75.
The current in the tank is aprox 15.000 ltr/hour

That is a great combination! I use Metynnis faciatus as dither fish for my group of Retroculus xinguensis, they are far more skittish than the lapidifers in my experieces. That is a beautiful looking tank that you have there.
