Wui & Confuzona...

Post by Graeme Robson » Sun Feb 03, 2008 1:23 pm

New season for new additions in the form of the Homaloptera confuzona and Sinogastromyzon wui. I've purchased 4 more Homaloptera confuzona to add to my original group and reserved 4 more Sinogastromyzon wui to add to my group < These S wui are huge!! Around 3.5inches long and 2inches wide. Hopefully i will post pictures in the next few days. Here's the ones that came home with me for now.

Nice!!
I can't wait to see the pics of 3.5" wui.
I have two I have had for about 7 years now and, despite eating like pigs, they have grown no larger than about 2.25".
And the confuzona....well you just know I am VERY jealous...particularly since an arrangement I had to get some last fall fell through.

I thought you would be interested in them, Jim. Tomorrow i'm going to collect them and place them in a photo tank so we all can see these big chaps properly. :wink:

I second a request for pictures!

Our Wui do seem to have grown a bit since we got them, but very slowly. There are no where near 3.5" in length. Your fish will be something to behold there Graeme (-:

Have you posted any pictures of your existing Wui?

Considering the camera shy nature of Wui i'd say those pictures are excellent (-: Lovely looking fish too.

Thanks for sharing them Graeme!

I did manage to go back to the store but...... all of them ended belly up!! in the store. :? Well apart from one! This chap is 3inches but still a lovely one. Here's a poor picture of him a little stressed in the photo tank and the only decent picture i captured in the q-tank is of the underside of him.

Very nice Graeme! My search for S. pulliensis (http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php?t=11223) was unfortunately unsuccessful.
