Hi Mad and LOL.
As a result, a very fascinating site was found.

It's divisible into an upstream region from the downstream, and a lot of freshwater fish which lives in Taiwan is introduced.
It may not be able to indicate Chinese font by many person's PCs.
A text which equals line one of side in a top line is a link to each photograph collection page.
Crossostoma lacustre may be the color of the body and the one from which the design changes big by the age.

The alga is made principal food, it's mentioned, but the fish at me can't see the state which eats an alga.
I didn't understand Chinese, but the kanji was common a little, so I looked for a Taiwanese site.Mad Duff wrote:How sure are we that these are Crossostoma lacustre

I am not used to English. Therefore,It is likely to sometimes misunderstand it.

Actually Mick, I thought I saw some of this species (or something really similar) as contaminants in a batch of Homaloptera smithii the other day. Only reason I didn't get them was I was in a rush and didn't think the trained (maybe not) monkeys at this particular shop would be able to catch them easily without damage.mickthefish wrote:Em, get the thumbscrews out. haha
Martin it was YOU who decided to go to Canada mate, just dream about the fish we can get in dear old blighty.

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

I do still think it's odd that these fish don't look at all like the pictures on the species index, other than having vaguely the same shape as homalopterans...

They match the many photographs in "A Photographic Guide to the Inland-water Fishes of Taiwan Vol 1" of Crossostoma lacustre (or Formosiana lacustre depending on what classification you follow). There are two colour 'morphs', one more golden than the other, and the book says they may end up being different species or subspecies (there are already 3 other supposed junior synonyms of C. lacustre). Males in breeding condition get many tubercles on the head and cheeks. It says that aggressive territorial behaviour can be observed especially between adult individuals in competing for foraging or spawning sites.Emma Turner wrote:I've asked The.Dark.One to take a look, when he has time.
