<br>
Three months ago we could announce the first successful importion of the
dwarf tetra Tucanoichthys tucano from the upper Rio Uaupes (see enter in our
newarchieves from 8.6.09). Now we are able to give some more information on
the charming species.<br>
<br>
The maximum length of this fish is about <st1:metricconverter ProductID="2 cm"
w:st="on">2 cm</st1:metricconverter>. Thus it fits ideally for so-called nano
tanks, especially because this species - like many other tetras - is not a
continuous swimmer, but a rather unhasty species. The behaviour of
Tucanoichthys resembles much to that of the emperor tetras (Nematobrycon).
Like the emperors they like to live in a community of their own but are not
schooling fish in the strict sense. Only when the fish feel really disturbed
or anxious they swim in a school for a short time. As soon as the disturbance
is over they seperate from each other again.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p _fckxhtmljob=2><font size=2 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
10.0pt'><img width=720 height=500 id="_x0000_i1027"
src="http://www.aquariumglaser.de/backend/FCK/UserFiles/Image/News-Pics/kw%2037%202009/tucanoich2.jpg"
hspace=2 vspace=2 border=2><br>
<br>
Also similar to emperor tetras is the fact that Tucanoichthys are
brood-caring fish, which is very rare among tetras. As we already mentioned
in the news there are two phenotypes, one with red in the fins and one with
hyaline fins. It seems very likely that this represents a kind of sexual
dichromatism. From nature it is reported that the animal that is broodcaring
(probably the male) is quite aggressive against potential or real predators.
Even relatively big fish, like the sympatric Nannacara adoketa, become
attacked and driven away successfully.<br>
<br>
Regarding feeding Tucanoichthys is completely undemanding. Any usual fishfood
is readily taken, even flakes. But they are blackwater fishes and so they
need very clean, soft and acidic water. Tucanoichthys are very sensitive
against negative stress. So one should be very careful when catching and
packing them, otherwise losses are very likely.<br>
<br>
Lexicon: Tucanoichthys: means "fish of the Tucano", a tribe of
indigenous people that settle at the Rio Uaupes. tucano: see generic name.
Dichromatism: means "with different colours". The term is used for
example if male and female have different coloration.<br>

<br>
The main distribution of Geophagus winemilleri is the southern part of
Venezuela. Nevertheless most imports come from Brazil, because the species
also occurs in the Rio Negro. G. winemilleri becomes often confused with G.
proximus and a second, still undescribed or unidentified species. However, G.
winemilleri can be identified by the dark spot on the operculum, reddish fins
and four dark vertical bars on the body.<br>
It is mentioned already in the original description of the species that the
caudal fin can be spotted or striped (depending on the population?).<br>
Geophagus winemilleri is a biparental larvophilous mouthbrooder, which is
pretty easy to keep and can be even bred without too many problems. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

Currently we offer a beautiful surface dwelling fish for community tanks for
fishes from Asia: Chela laubuca. The absolutely peaceful species attains a
total length of around 6 (rarely 8) cm. Keeping and breeding is comparable to
that of the zebrafish (Danio rerio) which shares the same habitats as Chela
laubuca in nature.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
