Leporinus fasciatus

Leporinus fasciatus is known for its striking black and yellow banding and social nature. It can exhibit territorial behavior and may nip at smaller fish, so it is often housed with similar-sized, robust species. It's crucial to provide ample swimming space and several hiding spots in the tank to reduce stress and aggression. An omnivore, it thrives on a varied diet including vegetables, pellets, and occasional protein treats like worms or shrimp.
