Description: Hemigrammus luelingi will grow to around 3cm in captivity. It will probably demonstrate a similar personality as the rest of the Hemigrammus species: peaceful, active and sociable.
Due to the rarity of this fish in the hobby, there is little documentation available. Thus, social habits, sexual dimorphism, and colouration are unknown.
Diet: Try an omnivorous diet for your Hemigrammus luelingi. If they reject live foods, change to a purely herbivorous diet.
Breeding: Due to the fact Hemigrammus luelingi is generally undocumented within captivity, breeding information is unknown.
Comments: As Hemigrammus luelingi is unusual in the hobby, there is a scarcity of information. Subsequently, general information regarding the Hemigrammus species has been included.
