Green Line Lizard Tetra (Iguanodectes spilurus)

Description

The green-line lizard tetra, scientifically known as Iguanodectes spilurus, is a petite characiform fish native to the rivers of South America.

  1. Temperature: Aim for a tropical temperature range of 72 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit (22 to 26 degrees Celsius).

  2. Minimum Tank Size: Provide a tank size of at least 10 gallons (about 38 liters), but larger tanks are often better, especially if you plan to keep a group of these fish.

Feeding Habits: Characiform fish are typically omnivores. Offer a varied diet of high-quality flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, or daphnia.

Habitat Preference: Mimic their natural environment with a well-planted aquarium, some hiding spots, and open swimming spaces. Driftwood and rocks may also be suitable, depending on their natural habitat.

Water pH Level: Aim for a slightly acidic to neutral pH ranging from 6.0 to 7.5.

Behavior: Characiform fish, including tetras, often exhibit schooling behavior. Keeping them in groups of at least six individuals can help reduce stress and promote natural behaviors.

Color: Tetras are known for their vibrant colors. A well-maintained and suitable environment can enhance their natural colors.

Remember to check for any specific information regarding Iguanodectes spilurus, as details can vary between species. Consult with experienced aquarists, specialty forums, or reputable sources to get the most accurate and up-to-date information for the care of this particular species.
