Banded Leporinus (Leporinus fasciatus)

Remarks: Leporinus are a group of large characins with a propensity to quickly dart away or jump out of the water. They require a large tank with plenty of boulders and river rock to swim around. They appreciate a fairly strong current as well. They can show aggression towards conspecifics but with enough space, they can share a tank together. We recommend keeping them with larger South American cichilds.  Scientific Name: Leporinus fasciatus Common Name: Banded Leporinus Max Size: 12" pH: 5.0-8.0 Hardness: Soft Temperature: 70-82° Aggressiveness: Peaceful Region of Origin: South America Captive Bred or Wild: Wild Diet: Small flake or pellet, small frozen or live foods Compatibility: Similarly sized schooling fish, cichlids, Corydoras, livebearers, rainbowfish, Loricariids Tank Mate Options: Skunk Cory Red Spotted Severum Geophagus sveni *****Please review our Shipping and Handling FAQ prior to placing your order.
