Description

Parapteronotus hasemani is a territorial, though still rather peaceful South American knifefish found in the Amazon Basin. Only really territorial to other knifefish, especially those of the same species. Males are very likely to fight. These fish are relatively hardy, and will accept a decent range of water conditions.
 
Mate I love all the Aus/Png stuff! Been away for a while and i’m sure you’ll have posted about another 100 fish in no time.
Keep up the good work mate!

Chiquitano Cichlid
Bujurquina oenolaemus

Size: 4”
pH: 6.5-8.0
Tank size: 20G/Pair
Country of origin: Bolivia
Diet: Most live, frozen, and prepared foods of an appropriate size will suffice
Temperament: Peaceful, though slightly territorial
Temperature: 75-80° F

Description

Bujurquina oenolaemus is a small, little-known cichlid native to Bolivia. They belong to the acara family. They are very elusive, and little information is known on their care. However, they are rather adaptable, and are not awfully hard to maintain in the aquarium. They can be kept with, and are similar in maintenance to, many other similarly-sized South American cichlids.
