Exodon paradoxus, a member of the family Characidae, is native to 南美洲. Its colours are honest signalling: pale, scattered fish are telling you something is wrong. It swims in mid-water. Adults reach 5.6–8.2 cm. Schools tightly; never keep below 6. Keep a proper school, dim the glare, and feed small foods several times a day. Maintain 23–28 °C at pH 5.5–7.5. Water quality and diet matter more than décor.
