Nannostomus eques

Nannostomus eques is a small, peaceful schooling fish suitable for community tanks with non-aggressive tankmates. They're appreciated for their unique swimming style, often maintaining a head-down posture among submerged vegetation. A densely planted tank mimicking their natural habitat with driftwood and leaf litter enhances their well-being. Feeding should include high-quality micro-pellets and live or frozen foods such as daphnia or brine shrimp to replicate their natural diet.
