I picked up a dozen of these Pencils a couple of months ago, they were being sold as N. trifasciata, which they obviously are not. The best I can tell is that they are N. marilynae, though there are a couple of similar species for which there is little information available. Since there seems to...
Bought a bag of small fry labeled Nannacara aureocephalus back in October, dropped them in a tank and, other than feeding them, forgot they were there. Last week I noticed one of the males had colored up nicely - except he's not an aureocephalus, is he? Last time I bred N. anomala was in the...
I purchased two pairs of trifasciata maciliense from Jeff (AquaticClarity) at the Greater Chicago show on Memorial Day weekend, and lacking a better place for them, I put them in a long 20 with about 50 Rosy Tetras around 1.25" in length. I also dropped two small flowerpots in the tank, so the...

Yeah, I had these fish several years ago and they are long gone, but I'd like to be sure I have a proper ID on the photos. There were three, all pretty close to the same size, about 3.5-4cm, but the one in these photos was just slightly larger than the other two. All three were capable of the...
