Identity and origin
- Origin
- Sulawesi, Indonesia; Timor records in the taxonomic revision
- Identity
- Sulawesi ricefish; not claimed as strictly island-endemic
An understated, translucent ricefish with a published maximum of 4.5 cm total length. The revision also recognises Timor records, so a Sulawesi-only endemism claim would be too narrow.
Habitat and care
Freshwater streams and associated lowland waters; retain exact locality. Habitat and identity reference
Match the source population’s established water conditions. Provide small foods, cover and space for social interactions.
Design for feeding and movement
Care-planning notes. Confirm exact requirements for the species and source population.
- Check adult dimensions and social needs for this species; small body size alone does not establish aquarium suitability.
- Provide swimming space and refuge, and choose companions with compatible feeding behaviour.
- Match food size to the animal and observe feeding directly, especially when keeping small species with faster feeders.
