Gold Pencil (Nannostomus beckfordi)
The Gold Pencil is a peaceful, small fish can share tanks with other characids and smaller catfish but does not make an ideal community fish due to its small size and rather timid nature.
It also makes a great dither fish for dwarf cichlids, as it inhabits higher regions and avoids preying on fry.
