Pyrrhulina eleanorae

Pyrrhulina eleanorae is a peaceful and lively fish, ideal for a community tank with non-aggressive species. They exhibit interesting behaviors like 'jumping' or leaping out of the water, so a covered tank is recommended. The species does well in a biotope setup with plenty of hiding spots, driftwood, and leaf litter to simulate its natural environment. These fish are omnivorous and should be fed a varied diet including high-quality flakes, small live foods like daphnia and mosquito larvae, and freeze-dried or frozen foods to maintain optimal health. Breeding can be achieved in captivity, though it requires the creation of specific conditions to trigger spawning. This involves replicating the wet season conditions of their natural habitat, with higher temperatures and slightly increased water levels and hardness.
