| − | :South America: Río Magdalena and Río Sinú basins (northern Colombia) and rivers draining into Lago de Maracaibo in northwestern Venezuela. | + | |sexing=:Mature females are larger than males and will have a fuller belly. Males have a larger anal fin. It is rare for these fish to breed in captivity. |
| − | + | |tank_compatibility=:This fish is best kept in pairs or in groups. It cannot be housed with smaller fish as they will be eaten. Larger fish that mainly occupy the lower levels of the tank often do well including large [[Plecos]], large [[:Category:Cichlids (American)|American Cichlids]] etc. | |

Floating plants do well to hide them from bright lighting, other planting around the tank is appreciated. They need some large open swimming spaces as well as places to hide in [[bogwood]]. They prefer a medium to strong current in the tank. They are sensitive to water parameters as well as the addition of new water during water changes. |
| − | + | |behaviour=:A top-dwelling predator. Can be skittish and timid, avoid sudden movements near the tank if you are to keep this fish. | |
