| + | |environment_specifics=:They can be kept over sand and gravel, or a bare bottom tank. | ||
| + | |behaviour=:Although not frequently imported, this species adapts well to aquarium life. | ||
| + | |identification=:There are three broad, dark bands on this sleek, flattened, silver fish. The top band runs from the base of the dorsal fin along the back to the caudal peduncle and and into the upper lobe of the tail. There is a dark matching stripe in the lower lobe. The second band runs below the first, separated by a thick white line. the third, wedge-shaped band runs down from the dorsal fin and ends between the pectoral and pelvic fins. The head it dark grey, and the dorsal fin is white with a distinctive dark blotch. | ||
