Very good looking banded leporinus.

banded leporinus, not good for a planted tank, may grow for up to a foot long.

Leporinus fasciatus, a nice fish and have a good growth rate too. Very tough and hardy ive even kept one in a 5foot african cichlid tank, have some serious attitude for a characin too.

the leporinus is a good, tough fish, but it needs space; how wide is your friend's tank? as noted, these fish get big . . .
