Short description

Neolebias unifasciatus are on the endangered species list and very rarely seen in the aquatic stores. They are an extremely shy species so should be kept in small groups of at least 8 specimens to help them settle in the tank quicker. The addition of floating plants will help to create shady areas but any other décor in the tank is optional.
