Scleromystax kronei

Post by Ironhead »

There was a temperary name given to a simialar fish a few years back.
I seem to remember its ID for a time as "Biahanao II" or similar nomer.
What was the correct name used for that fish & has it been described ?

Thanks

I used to be schizophrenic, but we're OK now. At least that's what my dog is always telling me!

Frank,

A couple more questions if you have time.

Is anyone working on a description of C112 ? Who ?

Looking at pictures, I see only color differences...are they from different locations?

I have a pair that were sold as C112 (B II) I also have a friend that has S. kronei that he received from you. I need to let mine get a bit older and comepare the two groups and try to determine if the B II are IDed correctly.

Do you have photos that you know are C112 that you will share ?

Thanks for your time

I have no idea. I'm sure there are others here who may be able to answer that, for you.

They are both from the same general locale, with more detailed information available for S. kronei.

That should not be difficult. They have distinct differences.

I do not keep C112. I do have a beautiful group of C113's which are steady spawners, but I have only raised a few to young adulthood. I have not had them very long.

I appears that most of the C112's are in the UK. I am not aware of anyone in the US keeping them.
Thanks for your time
