Need help in identify my Aspidoras

Post by balous »

Hi,
I bought 12 Aspidoras from a private owner 3 weeks ago.
He couldn´t tell me what Aspidoras they are.
The Aspidoras spawned in a shrimp tank successful.
That´s the reason why I have adults, semiadults and juveniles.
They are beetween 1,5 and 4,5 cm long.
Regards
Michaela

I'd say C125.

They moved into their own tank.
Really fine sand and a lot of leaves (sill sinking).

Looks like a nice set up.
I agree with Kim that your fish are Aspidoras C125

Hi,
thank you for the identification.
Now I know that I have a group of Aspidoras spilotus (C125).
Yes they really like their new tank with all the leaves.
Hope they will spawn after some changes with could water.
Regards & a nice weekend
Michaela
