Originally identified the first known fish from Liberia, Epiplatys barmoiensis populations can be found from Southern coastal Guinea through Sierra Leone & into western coastal Liberia. 

     BREEDING INFORMATION:

     My personal experience with this species indicates it is a top mop spawner.  Eggs take 2-3 weeks to hatch and the fry are very small, but did take newly hatched brine shrimp readily.  Fry grow at a moderate speed and take about 10 weeks to begin sexing out.
