Alestopetersius smykalai

25. September 2014

Finally
we were able to import once more one of the most beautiful African
tetras: Alestopetersius smykalai. The species originates from Nigeria
and becomes only 5-6 cm long. So it is a perfect fish also for owners of
comparatively small tanks. Due to the wonderful blue back of the males –
which differ from the females also by the long dorsal fin and the
completely different formed anal fin, which has a white border – it is
called “Blue Diamond” in the hobby.

For
our customers: the fish have code 100183 on our stocklist. Please note
that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade. Only very rarely
available!
