It’s wrong catchment area for tetramerus, so wouldn’t expect that to be the case
The orange flashing isn’t as vibrant as it looks in the photo, but is definitely visible
I have seen confirmed diadema with the orange however, but let’s be honest, the entire genus is an absolute mess when it comes...
I know, but worth trying
metae is ruled out, as the lateral spot in continuous and the eye lacks the black diagonal lining
The lack of red throat and darker scales would probably rule out tetramerus
I’m leaning more between superomaculatum or diadema
A few months back I picked up an Aequidens sp from a wild import labelled as metae
There were a distinct mix of species, and I grabbed what I believed was A.diadema, however as times gone on I’m no longer sure, appreciate any help you could give
Been 24 hours in my care, taken blackworm yesterday no problem, and have been eating hikari vibrates tonight
I know they are a lot more common now than they used to be, but this is nearly 5 years of waiting and searching for this fish and to now own them is still amazing to me
I’m actually weighing up a SEA trip in the coming years, a colleague is very into his gastromyzons and hill streams
But yeah the world is definitely not the safest anymore, it’s a shame too!
Tell me about it, it’s been a passion for 4 nearly 5 years now but sourcing them was next to impossible
It’s a shame seeing them become so “common” but to finally have some is still incredible for me
To be fair plant wise, it’s not actually going to be planted as such
Just the moss and the fern
And it’s in a cupboard which is why I was running the lights less, as it’s not actually going to a viewable tank so was thinking of saving a bit of money
My other tanks are all heavily heavily...
Rock has been removed, and I’ve grabbed an extra piece of talawa wood to add more structure, also added in some bits of spider wood that has ferns attached, dumping a pit of flame moss in today after work too, lights will be running for 4 hours daily, and slowly adding more botanicals, including...
See I’m hesitant to go for a full breeding project, as even though I’m after a pair eventually, the fact they’re siblings isn’t something I want to chase
However I am already sourcing ‘new blood’ so to speak for the future
Thank you, it’s definitely been a long time coming
And I will be, I’ve got 2 back up plans if things do go sour, I know the current tank isn’t ideal for anything more than a few months at most
To be honest, the rocks were just used as it’s what I had spare, all my wood pieces are huge, but rock is getting removed
it’s in the West Midlands Uk, sedgley road aquarium
im pretty thick skinned, advice is always welcomed!
I have a ton of seed pods, savu and cappucia that I’m boiling so...
Oh no it’s a small tank indeed, it’s purely a temporary holding tank with a much bigger tank to move on into and eventually a separate tank for themselves, but the opportunity of getting a trio for £15 presented itself
I’m using RO water so the rock won’t be a problem really, I’ll just account...
