Wild specimen imported from India. It's very small, only about 2 cm, and feeds on live worms.
I've also posted some pictures of it's tank mates, all of them are strange fish, like the freshwater sea dragon Microphis brachyurus,and loaches Protomyzon Pachychilus
Panda loaches, adorable little critters. They require a strong and oxygen water current to stay healthy. They are omnivorous, and mine feeds on worms much more than algae and plant matter. They will actually swim towards the worms and jump on them once the worms are dropped into the tank. These are sub-adults and are about 4 cm. Their black colors are fading into a grayish patch. They will turn into a yellow/grayish fish as adults.
Microphis brachyurus
Fresh water sea dragon from Tai Wan, the adults live in fresh water after they breed in mangroves of brackish waters. It is quite skinny since it is a slow feeder, but these days it's attitude towards food is getting much better.
funny little cross bred sturgeon. I took this photograph of the sturgeon in the catfish tank, but later that day I moved the sturgeon into a smaller tank with a bigger current and a much lower temp, around 16 Celcius. Sturgeons do best in a temp range of 10 to 18 Celcius, and presently I keep my sturgeons in a tank with a 16 water temp.
