Origin		Brazil; Rio Xingu, Rio Araguaia.
Social Behaviour		Peaceful
Remarks		Fairly hardy fish suitable for the community aquarium. Likes good tank circulation with plenty of current. Keep in a well planted tank with lots of algae or feed vegetable foods. The fish may nip at plant leaves and prefer a vegetable diet but bloodworms, and daphnia are also relished.
