Distribution and habitat
Between Iquitos and Nauta in Peru, Loreto district.
I collected them in October 2006 ( end of the dry season).
The water: pH: 4,44, Conductivity: 31 µS/cm, Temp: 29,3 °C
Easy to keep. Alfa male establish a territory in which several females breed.
If provided with hiding places, it's possible to keep a group in a tank. Not very aggressive, in my tank, the other, smaller males hide among floating plants ( Ceratopteris cornuta)
Breed in almost any water; pH: 4,0 - 7 . Polygamous.
Females with fry at the same time often steal a lot of fry from each other.
