Dear Mike,
What is the difference between A. baenschi sp. inka50 and A. baenschi ?

 

[Mike Wise]

Nothing, they are the same species.

Nothing, they are the same species.

Thank you Mike. That 50........Has it got any significance?

From what I was told, when it first arrived in the hobby (Japan), pairs were sold for ¥50,000 (~US$500).

I've just bought a wild pair of these. I hope they settle in well. Wanted them for a while now.

I bought a wild pair of baenschi as well rr16 about 3 months ago, mine are doing great!

These seem to be settling down well now. I give it 4 days before I have a spawning!
