Dr. Staeck collected this fish in streams outside of Puerto Ayachuco, Venezuela. There he measured the following conditions:
Date 31 July 1989
Time: 11:00 a.m.
Air temperature: 32º C (89.5ºF)
Water temperature: 25.5ºC (78ºF)
Conductivity: 10 µS/cm
Total & Carbonate Hardness <1º
pH 5.5
This fish can be spawned in moderately soft water (~6ºdGH+dKH)
with dKH <3º with a pH about 6. It can be maintained in harder,
slightly alkaline water, but with no viable eggs. Hope this helps.
