Three Line Pencilfish (Nannostomus trifasciatus)

Remarks: Three Line Pencilfish (Nannostomus trifasciatus) are a very peaceful characin. They prefer to be kept in large schools, and they appreciate lots of cover in the form of long, grassy plants and floating plants. Both males and females have three horizontal black stripes with red spots on the dorsal, anal, caudal, and pelvic fins.  Pencilfish are great tankmates for breeding pairs of dwarf cichlids. Their mouths are too small to eat even the youngest cichlid fry (Nannus - small, stoma - mouth).
