Distichodus Lusosso Long Nose 5cm "Meet the Distichodus Lusosso, a captivating addition to any aquarium! Originating from the rivers of West Africa, these stunning fish boast iridescent scales that shimmer under the aquarium lights. Known for their omnivorous appetite, they thrive on a diet of high-quality pellets, live and frozen foods, and enjoy occasional plant matter. With their peaceful demeanor, Lusossos make great tank mates for similarly-sized non-aggressive fish such as larger tetras, barbs, and peaceful cichlids. Their sociable nature shines in community setups, provided there's enough space to accommodate their adult size of up to 12 inches. While generally mild-mannered, they may exhibit territorial behavior, especially during breeding periods. Therefore, ample hiding spots and space are recommended to diffuse any potential conflicts. Due to their size and slight sensitivity to water quality, intermediate to experienced aquarists would best appreciate their care needs. Maintaining stable water parameters—temperature around 75-82°F, pH between 6.5-7.5, and moderate water flow—is key to ensuring their well-being. Add a touch of West African allure to your tank with the Distichodus Lusosso, an enchanting species that adds both beauty and tranquility to any aquatic landscape."
