Indonesian Leaf Fish (Pristolepis grootii)
$39.99
The Indonesian Leaf Fish (Pristolepis grootii) is a cryptic and rarely seen member of the Nandid family native to the soft water streams and rivers of Indonesia. Their body shape, coloration, and behavior allow them to mimic dead leaves and get close to unsuspecting prey items like small fish. In the aquarium, they are generally peaceful with tankmates too large to be eaten but due to their shy nature should not be kept with overly fast-moving or aggressive species.
