Congratulations. It is always nice to get a spawn!

Thank you, Racoll. I read that excerpt at one point, too. Intuitively, if these fish do survive in hostile, poorly oxygenated pools and have evolved to tolerate such conditions, I have to believe that they should have respiratory reserve. In effect, they should be exceptionally tolerant of low ...

My L029 (similar or same species) colony shows a clear affinity for cover (rocks/wood) and typically won't venture far from it to feed with the lights on. Even so, they are easily observed aggressively feeding on pelleted and frozen food which falls near their lairs. In fact they will vigorously ...

Depending a bit upon your husbandry habits, I think you could easily add either the L240 or another L204. Which would you most-enjoy, observing multiple species and their unique behaviors (L204 and L240), or cultivation-of and more-indepth observation of a single species's behavior (intra-specific ...

Although I have little in the way of helping you solve your concerns, I would like to share my similar "chubby" observations. I house three of these fish, each at approximately 3 inches in length. They've been with me for about 2 1/2 months and have also maintained a frighteningly rapid respiratory ...

Mine obliterate fresh zucchini. They also show interest in sinking shrimp pellets.
