| Care: | Feed with frozen bloodworm and vegetable-based flakes. Larger Black Banded Leporinus will eat banana. The Black Banded Leporinus is greedy at feeding time and will take more than its fair share away to another location then come back for more. A large tank is required with some open swimming space and caves for shelter. The tank should be sparsely planted with hardy species such as Java Fern. Some water movement is recommended. When startled, the Black Banded Leporinus may jump, so the tank should be kept covered. |
