Re: Suitable Ageneiosus tank mates for a Marmoratus
Right the only thing they've sent over is one Ageneiosus vittatus. It's 4 inches so will need to be seperate from the marmoratus at the min but Richard at wharf says once grown He'l be fine with the Marmaratus. Any thoughts or advice on the vittatus people?

Re: Ageneiosus marmoratus info wanted
Guessing they will be pretty small as the price is between 35 and 40 quid. Depending how small they are I may have to put the partition back in the tank as I don't want te Marmaratus eating them lol
