Description: The Macolor Niger is a unique black and white fish that would make a great addition to a large, peaceful fish only aquarium. They have white striped and spots as a solitary juvenile, but will turn a gray/black color as it grows. Do not mix with any small fish or crustaceans that can fit in their mouth, as this fish is predatory. Macolor Nigers will readily accept most prepared foods.
