Description: One of the more aggressive live bearers, the Ameca splendens are extremely nippy. They are also one of the rarest live bearers, only being known to come from one lake in Mexico in the wild. However, all of our Ameca splendens are locally bread, so you do not have to worry about taking these endangered fish out of the wild. They do best with semi-aggressive tank mates like most Barbs, and some Tetras.
