Exclamation Banded Leporinus

I know not many people are familiar with these, but I really think that this is one of the bst freshwater fish I've ever had... The are generally very gentile/docile (although can be rather aggressive when attacked), and only eat plant materials (but they will eat vegetable flakes if you start them on it when they are young).

I really didn't know very much about this fish when I got my first one (about 10 years ago), and I was very surprised when it grew from about 2" to over 12"! These are awesome looking fish, and I think they would make a great addition to the freshwater screen saver!
