Lonchogenys ilisha imported for sale online | the usual tetra from Brazil and Columbia


Lonchogenys ilisha is a relative of the Barracuda tetra
For the first time ever we were able to import this extremely unusual tetra.
Lonchogenys ilisha is a member of the family Acestrochrhynchidae, which means the species is closer related to the
barracuda tetras (
Acestrorhynchus) than, let’s say, to a cardinal tetra. Nevertheless our first observations proofed the species to be very peaceful, as well to conspecifics and to other fish of similar size.
We think that the specimens with the golden shine and the bright orange caudal fin are the males. However, no information is available so far regarding the aquarium biology of that species. The maximum length reported for L. ilisha is 6-7 cm, our specimens are 5-7 cm long and so most probably almost fully grown.
Lonchogenys ilisha is the only known member of the genus. Its distribution is in the upper and middle Rio Negro region in Brazil and Colombia. Our specimens originate from Colombia.
For our customers: the fish have code 266483 on or stock list. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade. Available in limited numbers only!
