don;t mind me joining here divert a little
does netting cover have any effect on blocking the light into the tank?

or use acrylic or glass cover better?
acrylic/glass covers will have water condensation underneath it.
will the water droplets affect the light as well?

and now the male fish, which has coloured pelvic fins and slimmer body…

I still find the stomach area sort of inverted....

**hwchoy** · 27th Sep 2006, 09:36

yes, but some how they're just like M. erythromicron, even though they eat like pigs the stomach still doesn't bloat.

these guys seems to prefer tetra flakes over ADP, but I saw them sh!tting so that's a good sign ;p

Yah that's a good sign. I throw in tablet food for corys/shrimps they will actually dine in with my bee shrimps.

choy... very nice shot! I am still trying to get a good shot of mine... grrr!

**Ibn** · 21st Oct 2006, 02:49

I just ordered 100 of these guys.

**hwchoy** · 21st Oct 2006, 02:52

another 100 is now in the Great Hall of the Azmi.

Eric, doing a species only tank? That would look really really awesome. Please share your setup with us once they have settled down.

**plumboy21** · 24th Nov 2006, 15:46

I think now the price dropped. SHould be very afordable to all.

**lwm999** · 14th Feb 2007, 17:25

Read so much, but still no idea how much is the fish. Can someone please share the rough price range? Is it close to $1, $5, $10?
Has it been spotted in any LFS recently? Haven't seen one before.
Thanks.

**taygu** · 14th Feb 2007, 18:10

When I was at C328 last Saturday, the price is almost the same as a rummy nose.

**lwm999** · 14th Feb 2007, 22:32

Thanks. Saw them at Y618. Hope they survive in my communitiy tank.

**Quixotic** · 14th Feb 2007, 23:31

Since you have gotten them, would you kindly consider breeding them as well please? Their habitat in the wild is in danger and you could be looking at possible extinction.

Hi folks,

I been captivated by these little creatures, but i never branch out into any other fish type, been keeping tetras all my life. I already have a 2 footer with tetras, but my recently setup 1 cube tank is empty, now looking for occupants.

How many of these fish can i hold in a 1 cube (running eden501)?

Are they disease prone?

And are they still under threat?
