Hi,
my name is Matteo and I'm Italian.
I have read about this fish in an article about Paraguayan fish (but it could be found also in other countries).
It is Phalloceros caudimaculatus, but there are also other species of Phalloceros in the same "biotope". It is a Poeciilidae but it seems that it is widespread in the "wetlands" of Paraguay or Argentina in soft and acidic water.
In the page of Hypessobrycon auca on Seriously fish, for example, it is possible read: "Sympatric fish species included Acestrorhynchus pantaneiro, Aphyocharax rathbuni, Characidium spp.,Hyphessobrycon eques, Serrapinnus kriegi, Apistogramma borelli, A. commbrae, Gymnogeophagus balzanii, Laetacara dorsigera and Phalloceros caudimaculatus".
Other sites instead talk about Phalloceros like other Poeciliidae and they suggest to keep them in basic water...
What do you think about this fish? What is its real "biotope"?
Thanks,
Matteo.
