Fig. 267. Pristella riddlei (Slightly reduced) 

 Although not brightly colored, this little fish has many admirers. Milk-white spots 

 on dorsal and anal fins, immediately adjoining intense black, spots, make an outstanding 

 effect, especially as the fish is very active. We do not often meet with opaque white in 

 fins. Lower dot in dorsal is yellow; tail is reddish. From Venezuela and Guiana and 

 the lower reaches of the Amazon. Breeding habits, page 238 (No. 5). 



Fig. 268. Copeina guttata (Also known as Pyrrhulina guttata) [Life size] 



An outstanding aquarium fish on account of its delicate lavender shade and some- 

 what unusual fin formation. It is a suitable member for a "happy family" aquarium.
