 Cat-eLog Data Sheet | |
|---|---|
| Scientific Name | Pseudohemiodon sp. `PERU I` |
| Common Name(s) | None |
| Pronunciation | seu doh hem ee oh don |
| Etymology | Greek, pseudes = false + Greek, hemi = half + Greek, odous = teeth |
| Species Information | |
| Size | 140mm (5.5") SL. Find near, nearer or same sized spp. |
| Habitat Information | |
| Distribution | Peru |
| Husbandry Information | |
| Feeding | Adapts well to dried food over live or frozen mosquito larvae and cyclops. |
| Furniture | Sand on the bottom so the fishes are able to dig themselves into the substrate. When feeding they filter through the substrate and so the size off the substrate should be very fine. |
| Suggested Tankmates | Peaceful fishes such as smaller Characins. |
| Breeding | One of the fishes, probably the male, carries the eggs on the lip barbels and under the stomach. The color of the eggs are grey and they turn progressively darker after 4-5 days. After a week the fry hatch. They are rather big, about 4 mm and will eat artemia eggs and granulated dried food from the start. About 20-25 eggs are laid. Breeding was accomplished in hard tap water 20 dh. and pH 7.5. |
