Appearance and identification

Resembles B. burdigala; the green flank patch alone does not identify the species.

Social behaviour and territory

A single pair is preferred. Watch for persistent chasing by dominant fish with multiple pairs.

Diet and feeding

Try suitably sized dried foods, rotating with live or frozen foods such as Daphnia and Artemia. Feed small amounts and avoid overfeeding.
