Acnodon normani

Acnodon normani, commonly known as Norman's Headstander, is popular among aquarists for its distinctive vertical swimming position. This species is peaceful but requires a spacious tank to allow its natural behaviors and swimming patterns. Ensure the tank is well-planted, offering both open swimming areas and shaded refuges. They prefer dark substrates and gentle water movement. **Tanks:** Young specimens can be kept in smaller groups, but adults benefit from an environment with subdued lighting and intricate setups, mimicking their natural habitat. **Water Quality:** Maintain consistent water quality with changes bi-weekly. **Diet:** Primarily feeds on plant matter in the wild but can adapt to flake and pellet food. Supplement with plant-based foods to cater to their herbivorous dietary needs.
