The Geometric Pygmy Perchlet is a small saltwater fish that usually grows up to 3 inches in length. It is suitable for keeping in small to medium-sized aquariums, as it prefers a water temperature range of 72-78°F and a pH range of 8.1-8.4. This species is known for its beautiful geometric patterns, which can vary depending on its gender and location of origin.

The Geometric Pygmy Perchlet is carnivorous and mainly feeds on small crustaceans and other invertebrates. In captivity, they can be fed a diet consisting of frozen or live brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and other small meaty foods. It's important to provide a varied diet to ensure that they receive all the necessary nutrients.

It can be difficult to determine the sex of Geometric Pygmy Perchlets visually. However, males may have more vivid colors and larger dorsal fins than females.

Geometric Pygmy Perchlets are generally hardy and not prone to specific diseases. However, they can be susceptible to common aquarium diseases such as ich or fin rot. It's important to maintain good water quality and provide a balanced diet to prevent diseases.

The Geometric Pygmy Perchlet is native to the western Pacific Ocean, specifically in areas such as Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

The Geometric Pygmy Perchlet is generally considered safe for aquariums. However, they are known to be aggressive towards other similar-looking species, so it's important to keep them with peaceful tank mates.

When introducing Geometric Pygmy Perchlets to a new aquarium, it's important to acclimate them slowly to prevent shock. This can be done by floating the bag containing the fish in the aquarium for about 15-20 minutes, gradually adding small amounts of aquarium water to the bag. This process allows the fish to adjust to the new water parameters.
