Great photo! What a lovely specimen, in good condition.

Looks like a specialised Characidium sp. to me.

I agree with the others, it's pecking order. If it's a quarantine tank you may benefit from adding some hiding places, if you haven't got any already. This behaviour is quite common in my tank mainly because there are well over 50 sid's in there now :D I'm not a jealous man.....well not until readin...

I use 2 39w Osram 865's on my main tank and the colour is slightly on the yellow side compared to "specialist" lamps but, I prefer the colour, especially as the cost is at least 1/3 of what it would cost me for specialist lamps :P I actually want to grow algae in my tank and so I don't worry about m...

Thanks Everyone

At the beginning of last month I spotted a waif of a Sid. swimming away from the other 8 that were in the LFS stock tank. In fact, it was shadowing a stray Scissortail Rasbora and kept nipping at the Rasbora's caudal. I asked the manager how much for the waif and was told I could take it for free (I...

I think they're great to look at but, the wife don't like them and, I don't have a snail-safe tank to put them in My water parameters are to soft anyhow.

All the research I have done points to all Sicyidiine gobies being amphidromous, if you wish to raise fry I would recommend following a similar procedure as is needed with the Amano Shrimp, Caridina multidentata.

They look like Yunnanilus cruciatus to me.
