Info

Bryx analicarens differs from its relatives by alternately arranged irregular, brownish and white along the entire length of the snout.
The color of the body is yellowish-orange, while the ventral side of the tail is whitish.
A dark, conspicuous band over the orbital periphery can be seen in the photo of the present specimen.

Etymology: analis, anal; carens, from carere, to be without or absent, referring to the absence of the anal fin.

Feeding intake.
The fish take a long time to eat at the beginning, before the food is taken up, a close inspection is carried out. After acclimatisation, the offered frozen food is eaten without problems. It should be noted that wild-caught fish behave differently than offspring when it comes to food intake. In the case of offspring, the size of the fish purchased also plays a role in the choice of food.

Synonym: Bryx clarionensis Fritzsche, 1980
