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
The sixth sense of a fish. 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.
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 - A line of sensory scales along the sides of fish that enables them to detect vibrations and electrical impulses from other fish.
macro-algae ~ Complex celled algae found in marine aquaria i.e.: Calurpa.
Lateral Line: A line of perforated scales along the side of a fish that is connected to a specialized organ used to sense vibrations in the water.
The lateral line
Running symmetrically along each side of the fish's body, the lateral line is more or less visible, according to the species. It consists of a succession of pores that communicate with a canal situated under the skin.
dark lateral stripe. Individual males may exhibit attractive blue spangled highlights on their caudal (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 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 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 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.
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.

Hole-In-The-Head or Lateral Line Erosion
Please note that the following remedies are anedoctal.
The information is presented as 'guidelines' to help you.

Name : Description : Small (1/4"dia max.) worms covered with 2 lateral lines of protruding white bristles. They grow to be at least a few inches in length. The body itself is segmented in brown and red.
This fish have a strong lateral compression and the body is nearly circular. The eyes of a Discus are usually deep red. Discus fish are colorful fishes and you can enhance their coloration further by feeding them a suitable diet.

Description: The White Pearly Calvus have a laterally compressed body, a high back, and a steep forehead. This unique shape allows them to root out prey from rocks and crevices.
From the body shape point of view, Anabantidae fish can have prolonged to stumpy body, lateral oblate, with short and small mouth, thick and marked lips, breech scalds medium developed.
Courtship consists of both lateral and opercular displays by the male, as well as species-specific head vibrations performed either with the mouth open or with the upper jaw "pursed" over the lower and held close to the substrate.
Brown Discus are round in shape and are very thin laterally. They can grow to diameters of ten inches (20 centimeters) and are quite graceful in appearance.
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.
macrops can be identified by its large eyes, oversize adipose fin, its fine pattern of dotting, and the dotted lateral line. Catfish from the river systems and basins of Africa are infrequently imported and not always available to the hobbyists.
Herbivore- Feed a diet rich in vegetable matter including frozen herbivore foods, dried seaweed, or live macro algae to help the Purple Tang retain its color and prevent lateral line erosion. Freeze dried algae sheets should be offered daily.
Anguilliformes: Pelvic fins and skeleton absent; pectoral fins and girdle absent in some; pectoral fins, when present, at least midlateral in position or higher and skeleton lacking bony connection to skull (posttemporal absent); ...
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".
Head and Lateral Line Erosion (hole-in-head disease)
This disease can affect discus, other cichlids, and many saltwater fish. The fish develops holes in it's head and sometimes along its lateral line.
More lateral scales than B. balunga and B. chini (31 1/2-32 1/2 vs. 29-31). More lateral scales below dorsal-fin origin (18-19, vs. 15-18). Greater total length than B. balunga and B. chini (145.5-153.5% SL, vs. 132.8-144.6).
All Archers have a deep, laterally compressed, silver colored body that is punctuated by black bands and black on the edges of the dorsal and anal fins. The jaw is large and upturned, perfect for feeding at the surface.
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.
It often migrates from the head to the lateral line and will sometimes follow the lateral line down the body of the fish. Needless to say, this is distressing to both the fish and the owner.
Now we know what it is, but how does it happen?
They have round, laterally pressed bodies, elongated dorsal and they need a great filter and heating system during winter. Angelfish find it a little challenging living with smaller fishes. They will eat them and bite the small fishes when they can.
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.
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.
They exhibit lateral barring, a slight iridescence and darker coloring when mature. Depending on their mood, they show immense variation in color, ranging from almost slate grey to black/purple. They develop blue lips when mature.
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.
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.
Sehr viele Goodeiden-Liebhaber halten Characodon lateralis für den schönsten Goodeiden. In Becken ab 60 Litern Inhalt ist die Haltung dieses verhältnismäßig kleinen Goodeiden nicht schwierig.
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.
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.
It also makes use of rock as a prominent hardscape in a distinctive non-equilateral triangular arrangement.
Not feeding properly: Not feeding fish that need specific elements in their diet the particular elements that they need, not giving good variety, and feeding only flake food to most saltwater fish may lead to lateral line erosion, constipation, ...
