Description

This variation was imported from Indonesia by Nano Tanks Australia in our June 2024 Shipment

Poecilia: from the Greek poikilo, meaning ‘variable, variegated’.

reticulata: from the Latin reticulatus, meaning ‘reticulated, having a network-like pattern’.

Distribution

Native to northeastern South America and the southern Caribbean with its original range considered to cover Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana plus the islands of Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda and the Netherlands Antilles.

Type locality is ‘Guayre River, Caracas, Venezuela’.

Wild examples are relatively rare in the aquarium hobby, most fish being commercially bred.

Habitat

An incredibly adaptable species that occurs in almost every imaginable biotope, from high-altitude streams to turbid swamps and ditches.
