One Line Pencilfish (Nannostomus unifasciatus)

$2.99

The One Line or Unifasciatus Pencilfish is a widely distributed loosely schooling fish found throughout much of the Amazon and Orinoco Basins. With their unique behavior and peaceful demeanor they have been a popular fish in the freshwater hobby for decades. Typically found in warm, extremely shallow waters alongside other tetra species, they prefer soft, acidic water conditions but are adaptable in the aquarium. Best kept in groups of 5 or more, they are relatively easy to care for but care should be taken to ensure larger or faster moving tankmates don’t outcompete them for food.
