Hemigrammopetersius tangensis (Tanga African Tetra-Néon)

Hemigrammopetersius Tangensis is a fish from the cichlidae family from the Tanganyika region in Africa. It is a small fish, measuring about 5 centimeters in length. Its color is generally silver gray, with black spots on the fins and the head.

Hemigrammopetersius tangensis is a gregarious fish, which means that he likes to live in a group. We can therefore find it in shallow aquatic circles, such as lakes, rivers and marshes. It feeds mainly on insects and small crustaceans, which it captures using its mouth in the shape of a beak.

Due to its small size and its discreet color, the Hemigrammopetersius Tangensis can be difficult to spot in its natural environment. However, it is distinguished by its dorsal fins, which are larger than that of other Cichlidae species. In addition, he has fleshy lips and sharp teeth, which allows him to easily capture his prey.

Hemigrammopetersius Tangensis is also known for its ability to communicate with the other fish in its group. He uses sounds and movements of the head to attract the attention of his fellows and establish social ties.
