Coral Red Pencilfish algae-eating fish from South AmericaPeaceful with other species but does not make an ideal community fish due to its small size and rather timid nature. Ideally it should be maintained alone or at most with diminutive, non aggressive characids and smaller callichthyid or loricariid catfishes. It also makes an ideal dither fish for Apistogramma spp. and other dwarf cichlids since it tends to inhabit the middle to upper regions of the tank and does not actively predate fry. *NOT FOR FUSSY
