Hi, Very interested in purchasing a few of these catfish. Thanks Jim
Hi,
I have been encouraging thewetspottropicalfish.com to re-order some Parotocinclus cf. eppelyi or Nannoptopoma species.
They had a "zebra" Nannoptopoma and P. eppelyi but their losses were high. I kept a group of about 20 P. cf. eppelyi for two years then lost them all when the power head quit working. All these tiny Loricariidae have high dissolved O2 requirements and need a brisk current. I found they did well on Spirulina sticks. It only took them a couple days to eat all the algae I had encouraged to grow in their 20 long and these sticks were the only food they would eat besides keeping the moss carpeted tank completely free of algae. You might let them know you what you are looking for because they can get a small number of them and would, I think, as long as they think they have enough customers lined up. I would be interested in any species of these tiny fish they can get.
