Striped Leporinus (Brevidens striatus) - 2-3" Unsexed. Remarks: The striped leporinus ( Brevidens striatus ) is a larger sized and very active anostomid not often seen within home aquariums. They have a long, stream-lined, golden body with four horizontal black bands and a white belly. Settled, mature fish will also develop a red spot on the upper lip making it almost look like the fish is blushing. This elegant look alongside their mostly peaceful, active personalities make striped leporinus a great addition to the aquarium especially if you are looking for some extra movement. The common name and body shape of the striped leporinus can easily make one think they belong to the Leporinus genus, however this is not the case. Originally, striped leporinus were described as Leporinus striatus back in 1858 by Rudolf Kner after he discovered them i. Source: Imperial Tropicals live fish catalogue.
