About the Banded Leporinus

Name: Banded Leporinus

Max Size: Banded Leporinus can reach a maximum size of around 12 inches.

Water Parameters: Banded Leporinus prefer slightly acidic to neutral water conditions with a pH range of 6.5-7.5. The temperature should be maintained between 74-82Β°F.

Diet: Banded Leporinus are omnivorous and have a varied diet. They will accept high-quality pellets, flakes, and frozen foods. Include a mix of protein-rich foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small crustaceans, as well as plant matter such as spirulina flakes and blanched vegetables.

Temperament: Banded Leporinus can be semi-aggressive, especially when they mature. They may exhibit territorial behavior and can be fin-nippers, so choose tankmates carefully. It's best to keep them with other robust and similarly sized fish.

Tank Setup: Provide a spacious aquarium with plenty of swimming space as Banded Leporinus are active swimmers. They appreciate the presence of hiding places like rocks, caves, and driftwood. A sandy substrate and hardy plants can be added, but they may uproot delicate plants.

Compatibility: Banded Leporinus should be kept with other large and robust fish species. Avoid housing them with smaller or more timid fish that may become targets of aggression or fin-nipping. Tank mates that can hold their ground and have similar activity levels are ideal.

Behavior: Banded Leporinus are known for their distinctive banding pattern along their body, which gives them their common name. They are active and fast swimmers, often exploring all levels of the aquarium. Provide ample space for their movements to reduce stress and aggression.

Fun Fact: Banded Leporinus are captivating aquarium fish with their unique banding pattern and energetic behavior. They can be quite hardy and adaptable to a range of water conditions. However, due to their potential for aggression and their large size, they require careful consideration when selecting tankmates and providing adequate space for their needs.

Perhaps the best store on island to get freshwater fish. They have a huge variety, including higher end freshwater fish (discus, puffers, flowerhorns , oddballs, ect) I’ve stocked a few tanks with their fish. They quarantine well and keep it real on how their fish are doing in shop.

Had a great experience here. I was looking for a unicorn/alicorn betta and spoke with the owner, Josh, about it. I ended up using his fish importing services to import a fish from Jakarta, and he brought in a few more white opaque or unicorn type half moon bettas too, to add to the variety in store. I got a sneak peak of the store while it was shut down for one week for a proper quarantine of its new fish. The owner knows his fish and keeps them healthy. A very different experience from a Petco or PetSmart! A Petco employee even recommended I go here for more unique betta fish. Note that they carry other types of fish too, plus Aquatic plants and some aquarium equipment. Pictured are some of the giant bettas, the alicorn betta, and i believe a beautiful ram.

Wonderful shop with lots of variety. Has the most unique selection of fish on the island, and at a reasonable price! Staff is friendly and very helpful when we have questions or concerns. Love coming here and seeing the jokes around the store. Also, Vinnie!

The owner, Josh, is not just knowledgeable about the fish, but also plants and tank issues. I am new to fish tanks and he has been extremely helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions to make my experience easier. Parking is a bit tricky, but certainly worth it.

They have rare plants you can't find at most places. Got lucky we got a few; my husband is happy. This is one of his favorite places. They get pretty busy, so be patient. The staff are very helpful.
