Hello all,
unfortunately taking pictures is for me nearly impossible, because of a lack of skill, equipment, and light in the tank. 🙁 they are cute but small (12 -18 mm SL), so no breeding for them this summer I think.
at the IGL meeting I bought a pair P. quindecim and a pair P pahuensis. Truly lovely fish 🙂 which made me think; isn’t it a waste to keep them hidden in small breeding tanks, where I only look at them 3-4 times a week to make sure that they are okay… wouldn’t it be much nicer to be able to see them all day swimming around in the living room tank….
breeding, or at least surviving fry, is impossible. but I could put a pair in a breeding tank whenever I want. It might even be better not to breed them all the time, but give them a period of rest. :dry:
They would share a 80cm tank whit 12 Trigonistigma hengeli, 6 Hyalobagrus flavus, and 3 Caridina multidenta.
what do you think of it? and which species would you put in there? P cf Bintan(5), P pahuensis (1/1), P quidecim (1/1) or/and P ornaticauda (9)
