Agree with Maloocom, the ones with solid black stripe all the way to the tail are brigittae. The ones with a larger "eye" shaped black oval in the middle are merah.
Thank you. I suspected I had mixed species too, but the Lfs kept all into a small tank, I think he said all bridgittae. Will they cross breed?
Yeah, brigittae and merah are sometimes found living together in the same habitat, so they tend to get mixed together in shipments and LFS tanks. Its possible they will interbreed too.
You can read more about them in this article: http://www.aquarium-glaser.de/en/bor...h_en_1107.html
Thanks so much. Do you think 40pcs of them in 2ft shallow tank of 27 litres is overcrowding?
Just nice. Coz they are small. Bro where you purchased them from? Managed to get Merah at C328 last Monday.
So far, mine are doing well at indoor tank temperatures up to 29-30°C without issues... they are active and still maintain a deep red coloration.
These fishes are tropical fishes from our local region, so they can naturally take the typical hot weather we have here (as long as the temperature change is gradual). I guess the information online is usually geared more towards aquarists who live in temperate climates and need to heat up their tanks to suit tropical fishes, so it tends to be on the cooler side.
The main thing with higher temperatures is to ensure that there is enough aeration and surface agitation or ample oxygenation by actively photosynthesizing plants, so that it counteracts the lower oxygen content in the warmer water. These are small fishes so their oxygen requirements tend to be relatively small too.
