One of the more brilliantly colored members of its family. They are not aggressive but only one should be kept in your tank. Aggressive tankmates may keep this one in hiding most of the time. Be sure to give them a quite tanks and plant of open substrate area to do their thing. |

The Blue Whiptail (Pentapodus sp.) is sometimes called a Banana Fish. It belongs to the family named Nemipteridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 7.9 inches in length, the Blue Whiptail is generally passive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Pentapodus sp. should not be housed in a tank less than 75 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra substrate area, a fine substrate, and a deep substrate.
