Linguado (Achiropsis nattereri)

Achiropsis nattereri (Linguado) need a substrate under which
they can hide. Sharp substrate must therefore be avoided and silicates
should also be avoided. Cover the aquarium, since the Linguado can
jump quite high.



Food: Achiropsis nattereri (Linguado) need live foods,
like tubificid worms, close to them. Feed twice a week. They can be
trained to accept dead meaty foods. Small Linguado feed on ghost
shrimp.
