Trachyglanis sanghensis - African Whiptails

Post by Coolcorycats »

Well I am posting a few pictures of these odd whiptails from the Congo - Trachyglanis sanghensis for your review. pH7.2, Temp 78-82F, Hardness 168 and they seem to be adapting well to the sandy bottom eating defrosted bloodworms, baby brine shrimp-newly hatched and frozen and Sera O'nip pellets.

These look awesome and thanks for sending me the pics - curious about the ID - as they do look quite a lot like the
Belonoglanis sp(1)
that turned up in the UK at Pier Aquatics. What more do we know about them - did the ID come from @Birger? Sorry, I don't know much about these.

Cheers

So far they came from Ruinemans in Holland and Birger is coming by to do a final ID this weekend! Nice having someone of his caliber nearby!

How are your settling in? I received a group of 4 yesterday and they have gone into my large congo community aquarium. At least one of them was out for breakfast this morning, so an OK start I think.
