New Purchase -Chiloglanis Polypogon?

Post by gkee »

I just purchased these two from "a low cost, self-serve pet store'. No names on any of the fish. It looks similar to Chiloglanis Polypogon but I have a lot to learn about catfish. Would this fish be in a LFS? If not, what might I have? TL about 2 inches, color does vary between the two.

Thanks, I checked the references and yes, judging from the descriptions and looking at them live, microglanis does appear to be what I have.

Hi!

Invisible except when the lights are out and you are feeding them, by that time you have some fast monster hungry fish eating all they can in a fraction of second...

Nice little guys anyway!!!
Cheers
