Inconspicuus is a very frustrating litttle fish to try to maintain - they
seem to need marine or very strong brackish salinity. Some forms of signifer
will happily live in marine and breed in it, and of course cyanodorsalis
seems to do best in marine but has good tolerance to a wide range of
salinity.

Also inconspicuus is also found to our north along the southern coast of
PNG - we found them well up the Kikori River but it was still stromgly
brackish
