Characodon lateralis can be crossed with Characodon audax. Therefore these two kinds should not be kept together.
In 1990 Dr. DIETMAR KUNATH, Germany, was engaged in crossing Characodon audax and Characodon lateralis. Here is the report: ...

Lateral Lines: Once Again: Electricity and Plumbing: Part I
Advanced aquarists have their own set of concerns and ideas when setting up an aquarium.

Aquarium setup: Mimagoniates lateralis (Tenuis Tetra) is best kept in an aquarium with plenty of open space and heavy filtration. Use plants to create densely planted areas where thy fish can hide and rest away from the current.

Lateral Line: The lateral line is a line of perforated scales along the flanks of a fish which lead to a pressure-sensitive nervous system.

Lateral line
The lateral line consists of a series of scales, each modified by a pore, which connects with a system of canals containing sensory cells and nerve fibers. It runs in a semi line from the gills to the tail fin.

Lateral line Line of perforated scales along the flanks which lead to a pressure-sensitive nervous system. Enables fish to detect vibrations in surrounding water caused by other fishes, or reflected vibrations of their own movement from obstacles.

Lateral line
a visible line along the size of a fish consisting of a series of pore-like sensory organs acting as vibration receptors, or like sonar.

Lateral humps - Paired wart-like structures that are found on the sides of the first abdominal segment. These may be very prominent or appear as only slight mounds. Best seen when looking at the larva from the top.

Lateral Line
The lateral line organ is a series of fluid-filled ducts located just under the scales. The lateral line system picks vibrations in the water. Thus fish are able to detect predators, find food, and navigate more efficiently.

Lateral line disease
This problem condition affects certain species of marine fish, and those almost entirely members of the family Acanthuridae, Surgeon fish or Tangs.

lateral line
A longitudinal row of pored scales along the mid-lateral surface that serves a sensory (tactile) function. Depending on the species, the lateral line may be complete, incomplete, or absent.

· Lateral line or Linea lateralis = one or two lines of sensory organs along both sides of the body of most fishes, starting from the anterior of the gill cover to the caudal peduncle (see relevant entry).

The lateral line system is a sensor apparatus that reacts to vibrations in the water (sound). This helps a fish detect potential prey (food), predators or submerged objects.

HITH- Hole in the head (lateral line erosion)- Oscars are very prone to HITH. Signs of HITH are usually very easy to see as the fish has lesions on it's lateral lines, or just above the gill plates.

The base color will be faint yellow with a darker brown, or black lateral line from nose to the end of the dorsal fin. The fins will usually be darker yellow with black markings.

Red Discus are round in shape and are very thin laterally. They can grow to diameters of eight inches (20 centimeters) and are quite graceful in appearance.

They are characterized by two lateral bands, the upper one red or orange, and the lower blue-green. The upper half of eye is red, giving this species one of their common names, "Red-eye Characin".

The basic colour of these cichlids is ivory with a brown lateral band which runs horizontally - this is when they are in the petshops. But when in full colour, the colouring of these cichlids can be quite impressive.

These fish have convex foreheads prior to the onset of the nuchal hump (if any), and often show a broad, dark black lateral swath from the pectoral fin through the caudal peduncle. Some are long and slender, exemplified by the popular T.

Angelfish are laterally compressed or look like a disc on edge with long fins coming out of the top and bottom and have 2 'feelers' in front of the anal or bottom fin.

Other common scale counts include counting the scales below the lateral line to the base of the pelvics; counting the scales from the insertion of the first dorsal fin to the scale above the first lateral line scale; ...

The Port cichlid, or Black Acara, has a large head with a deep and very laterally compressed body. Its color varies depending upon its age. Juveniles rage from a green, blue or brown with a blue, red, or yellow sheen.

The body is stretched out and laterally compressed with ventral fins that are long and thin, having the look of feelers. It is covered with iridescent pearl and brown flecks that give it a mother-of-pearl appearance.

The symptoms are easily recognizable pitted areas or holes around the face and head area and along the lateral line of the fish but the cause of HITH is not so clearly understood.

Aside from this sensory lateral line, most fish have an inner ear, called an otiolith, which functions very much like the human eardrum.

Due to their generally poor eyesight, they rely on their lateral line, which is extremely sensitive, to detect changes in their surroundings and to hunt for their prey.

Signs of nutritional deficiencies in fish range from physical deformities, a lowered resistance to disease, lateral line erosion, loss of scales, and listlessness to physical blindness.

The Sohal Surgeonfish is hardy, but susceptible to a disease known as Lateral Line erosion, or Hole in the Head. A vegetarian diet high in vitamins, especially beta-carotene can aid in the prevention of development of the disease.

Irregular blotches along the linea lateralis, sometimes forming a complete stripe. Large blotch at the base of the cadal fin is always present. Depending on mood and environment the colored regions vary.

Hole in the Head - HITH, sometimes referred to as Head and Lateral Line Erosion - HLLE
Small holes or indentations on the head of fish, advanced cases may show markings along the lateral line of the fish. They may stop eating.

the cardinal tetra has the striking iridescent blue line characteristic of the Paracheirodon species laterally bisecting the fish, with the body below this line being bright red in color.

Symptoms include anorexia and anaemia, necrotic holes that enlarge the sensory pits on the head of most cichlids (severe cases can be shockingly disfiguring), and the lateral line erosion which is basically another sensory pit area the protozoan will ...

The Gold Barb has a mostly gold-colored body with small, dark or black patches running down the lateral line. As the Gold Barb matures, the fin coloration develops into a striking red/orange.

Axolotl have weak eyesight and they do not seem to be used for finding food. Axolotl find food by smell and by lateral line organs located along the sides of their head and trunk. These detect motion and pressure.

They infect the digestive tract and are associated with head and lateral line erosion. Symptoms: Fish will exhibit a marked decrease in vitality, darkened colors, lack of appetite, and slimy whitish-to-clear faeces.

Oscars, as well as other large cichlids, are commonly afflicted by hole in the head disease (HITH). The symptoms are easily recognizable - pitted areas or holes around the face and head area and along the lateral line of the fish - but the cause of ...

This plant is a small and narrow-leaf variety, which is a good solitary plant for small aquariums. The transparent, ruby-red leaves with light leaf ribs provide a particularly intensive sheen. During growth the older leaves stretch outwards laterally.

All Asian arowanas are distinguished from Australian congenerics S. jardinii and S. leichardti by having fewer (21-26) lateral line scales (versus 32-36), longer pectoral and pelvic fins, and a longer anterior snout.
