Description

The Black Tailed Tamarin Lined Africa is a captivating species known for its striking coloration and lively behavior. This small fish features a distinctive black and yellow body adorned with intricate line patterns, with a particularly prominent black tail that adds to its visual appeal. With a maximum size of about 4 inches, this species is best housed in aquariums of at least 30 gallons, providing ample space for swimming and exploring. The Black Tailed Tamarin is a semi-aggressive species, often displaying territorial behavior, especially during breeding. Care should be taken when introducing it to community tanks, as it may show aggression towards similarly sized fish or those with similar body shapes. As a carnivore, this species thrives on a diet rich in protein. Offering a variety of meaty foods, such as frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and high-quality pellets, will help ensure its health and vibrant coloration. While it can coexist with reef inhabitants, caution is advised, as it may occasionally nip at coral or other sessile invertebrates.
