Product Description

Even though somewhat attractive, rarely seen the trade because as with many in this genus, it would not be a good peaceful community fish in most home aquariums. The juvenile has a black body with a white vertical band on the mid body, and a white spot on the head, hence the more common name. Adults lose the three white areas, with the body turning whitish grey and all fins remaining black.
