Editing Tateurndina ocellicauda

|origin=:This fish is native to the island of New Guinea and east Papua.

|sexing=:Both sexes are equally colourful, and are most consistently distinguished by their [[dimorphic]] head shape. The males posses a blocky head shape with a small cephalic or [[nuchal hump]], while the females head is more streamlined and many, not all, females have a black line on their anal fin. The yellow patch on a females belly also becomes more obvious when females are ready to breed, and takes on a [[gravid]] appearance.  Both will be at peak colour when ready to breed.

|tank_compatibility=:These fish are not overly active swimmers, and a pair or trio (1M:2F) can share a {{gal|10}}.  If planning for a community tank choose peaceful, small to similarly sized tank-mates that prefer the mid to upper tank levels and low water movement such as ''[[Pseudomugil gertrudae]]''.  More active species such as [[:Category:Rasboras|Rasboras]] are also acceptable, but may present additional challenges to feeding.

|diet=:May refuse to eat prepared food such as flakes, pellets, and even dried foods, especially if the specimens are wild caught.  Live foods such as [[Daphnia]], [[Bloodworm]], and midge or [[mosquito larva]]e are preferred, but frozen foods should be readily accepted as well.  Even if prepared food is accepted, due to the carnivorous nature of this fish supplementation with live and frozen foods is highly recommended.  If kept in a community tank target feeding may be considered as these fish may not be able to compete with faster swimming fish.

|feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day.

|environment_specifics=:A true freshwater fish which inhabits the lower strata of clear ponds, gently flowing rivers and streams. Due to the natural environment of this species, moderately soft water with a neutral pH is recommended,  but as long as water quality is maintained  this species can live and even produce viable eggs in moderately hard (dH >12) and alkaline (pH 7.8) water. Current should be minimal, or limited to the upper levels of the tank depending on stocking as these fish are not especially strong swimmers.  A sand or smooth gravel substrate is recommended, well or moderately planted, and decorated with small slate, terracotta, or PVC pipe caves for spawning.

|behaviour=:An entirely peaceful curious fish that mainly dwells in the bottom levels of the tank. Males can, however, be territorial if they are spawning.

|identification=:Although the small size, body shape, and bright colouration of this species may be reminiscent of [[Killifish]], ''T. ocellicauda'' possesses several distinguishing characteristics:
