Silurichthys phaiiosoma

Post by TalenT »

On the same list where I found "Hara sillaungi" I also found "Silurichthys phaiiosoma". It's easier to find info about this species, but I'm wondering if anyone here on the forum have any first hand experiences on keeping them, or any Silurichthys species?

(I've read the CotM article on Silurichthys indragiriensis.)

I'm also wondering if you have any thoughts about trying to keep them with Neocaridina denticulata "cherry shrimp". I've read that some (don't remember which) Silurichthys species have rather small mouths (if the Silurichthys eats one or two of the juvenile shrimp there's no problem, but will they eat adult cherry shrimp?).

Silurichthys phaiosoma is a blackwater species. I doubt you would be able to keep them in optimum water conditions with Neocaridina.
