Yunnanilus cruciatus (I promise)
Some (terrible) pictures of the 12 I bought in Peterborough. They're feeding on the brine shrimp Tetra Fresh Delica. They loved it! I spread it around on a long-ish piece of bogwood (so nobody could dominate) and let it set for twenty minutes. It stayed stuck really well although bits would fly off when the messy botia got into it...but the harlequins got a shot then so it was all good.
Emma very patiently netted out the larger of the specimens in the tank but a tiny one did manage to sneak in. I was a little worried about it at first but it's eating well and it is one of the most outgoing of the lot! Already looks a bit sturdier. These are great fish. They come to the front of the tank when I walk past and they've taken to shoaling with the harlequins!

Did you get the smaller ones left over? Post pics of yours up in this thread when you get your camera sorted. That goes for Ashleigh and anyone else who has any, too.Graeme Robson wrote:Bah! Bah! and Bah!

Nope, Parotocinclus maculicauda! Only ever seen them once in a shop and I grabbed the only two they had left. I was a little worried they wouldn't do very well but I've had them for about 6 months and they're looking great!

Those pictures are actually up on the species profile on Planet Catfish (under Lee's login as I don't have one).
