Threespot Headstander (Pseudanos trimaculatus)

$34.99 – $49.99

An uncommon and interestingly patterned Anostomid found throughout several major river systems in South America, the Threespot Headstander is a loosely schooling species similar to the more well-known banded Leporinus (L. fasciatus). In the wild, they tend to inhabit moderate to fast moving acidic waters, usually in open water where they feed on insects and crustaceans. In the aquarium, they require plenty of open swimming space and will do best in fast-moving, well-oxygenated water with a tight fitting lid as they are impressive jumpers.
