guineensis – from Guinea

.

     Epiplatys guineensis is wide spread from Guinea locally found near the town of Linsan in the Toukoudi River

While it is in the hobby, it has only received minimal interest because of subdued coloration. Generally not considered a difficult species to spawn, it is a top spawner and leaves fairly large eggs in the upper part of the mop.  Eggs take 12-14 days to hatch.  Fry are aggressive feeders of baby brine shrimp.
