Also called the “Humpback Limia” because the males develop a very high back as they age,
it is one of the more interesting fish that can be kept in the aquarium. Though their
conflicts are minimal, the dominant male will sport a larger, darker black dorsal fin.

This video was taken at the fish lab at University of Colorado, where the line I carry is also being kept.

 
 
 
     

This is a highly sought after fish that is not often seen. The males become very
husky and nearly circular in shape, the dominant males develop intense black
markings on their tall, sail-like dorsals.

The secret to this fish is keeping it in consistent conditions of fairly clean quality.
They are not big fry eaters but the young definitely do better when raised separately.
The adults are quick, active fish, and the young do not compete well for food.
