Truandó

The tiger teddy, Neoheterandria elegans, is a small livebearer endemic to the Río Atrato drainage in northwestern Colombia. It appears to be quite rare in the wild and in the hobby. Shy and diminutive, it is best kept alone in a small colony in a heavily-planted tank with exceptionally clean water. The fry are only 2-3 mm long and initially need infusoria-type foods.
