Eight Banded Head Stander Leporinus Fasciatus 6cm

“Meet the Eight Banded Headstander (Leporinus fasciatus), a striking fish cherished for its distinctive behavior and appearance. Originating from South American river basins, these active, schooling fish showcase vibrant bands across their sleek bodies, creating a captivating display in any aquarium.

Feeding on a varied diet including high-quality pellets, flakes, and live/frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp, they thrive in well-maintained tanks with ample swimming space. Ideal tankmates for these peaceful yet slightly territorial fish include similar-sized companions such as tetras, peaceful cichlids, and catfish that share their preferences for neutral to slightly acidic water conditions.

Despite their occasional territorial behavior, Eight Banded Headstanders generally maintain peace among tankmates when provided with ample hiding spots and swimming space. With a moderate level of care required, they suit intermediate aquarists familiar with managing water parameters between 72°F to 78°F (22°C to 26°C), pH levels of 6.5 to 7.5, and moderate water hardness.

Their striking appearance and engaging behavior make them a delightful addition to community aquariums, captivating both novice and experienced hobbyists with their unique headstanding antics and lively presence.”
