Taxonomy and systematics

[edit]

The specific name, bleheri, honors the species’ discoverer, Heiko Bleher.[3]

The mitochondrial genome of Petitella bleheri was fully sequenced in 2015 using standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques, and found to be 17,021 base pairs long.[4]

Distribution and habitat

[edit]

This species is found in the Rio Negro and Rio Meta basins.[2]

Diet

[edit]

Omnivorous and will accept just about anything offered. Species does have a small mouth so correspondingly sized foods are best. Feed a mixture of dried flakes and granules and small live and frozen foods. A varied diet such as this is essential for the best colour development.[citation needed]
