Text Appearing Before Image:
Fig. 271. Mimagoniates barberi (Slightly reduced) One of the newer arrivals, and likely to be permanent, as it is quite attractive. The broad band down the body is deep blue. Fins orange to reddish. From Brazil and Paraguay. Breeding habits, page 238 (No. 5).
Text Appearing After Image:
Fig. 272. Moenkhausia oligolepis (Half size) One of the features of this fish is the fiery red of the upper half of the eye, contrast- ing with the subdued gray of the black-edged scales. It is a fish that stands out as being different. In the adult size it is fairly large, as tropical aquarium fishes go, and when fully grown the black spot in the caudal fin (tail) is less apparent. From Brazil. Fairly gentle disposition. Breeding habits, page 238 (No. 5). £.
