Hello,
I just got this cute little guy. I know that he is a Tachysurus Spilotus. I can't find any info online about this species. I spoke to Frank, a great guy at the local pet store, ANIMART and was informed on what food they have been feeding the little guy and what the water temps he had been kept at. If anyone out there has anymore info on this little guy, I would be more then willing

I quote from the original description:
Tachysurus spilotus inhabits small to medium sized streams and rivers, being more frequently encountered in streams with fast running waters and stony substrate.
The other fishes caught together with it (e.g. Sewellia) suggest that the current can be quite strong (although the Tachysurus could be utilizing the backwater areas of such streams).
