Description
Her dress is white and has zebrures as well as a line that goes from the caudal to in the middle of the body about.

Reproduction
Place two males and a climbing female in a reproduction tank of 60 to 100 l without sand, equipped with an effective filter. A few smooth stones on the bottom, large -leaf plants in pots or small planters. Temperature between 22 and 24 ° C, T.H. less than 20 ° F and neutral pH or located between 6.7 and 7.5. To simulate the rainy season, we make a water change of 50 % with cooler water of 2 or 3 ° C. We remove the parents after laying. To fight mold, we can add acriflavin or methylene blue. Just before free swimming, lower the water level so that newborns bathe in food. Distribute powder for fry, plankton, microvers, artemia nauplies. Siphon waste every day and change the water cautiously by increasing the water level related to growth. (source aquabase.org)
