Stiphodon Ornatus, Or not ?
Posted: Sat Jan 06, 2018 5:10 am
Hello,
I am new to the loaches type. I never had an aquarium that was fit for this type of fish. It is not a 100% perfect now but with my flow of 3000l/h in a 300l aquarium and the back of the thank with alge (never cleaned this window in 2 years?) i think it is possible for me now to hold at least a small group of Stiphodon.
When i found some in the local store (not that easy in Belgium...) i bought al of them.
5 Stiphodon Ornatus. where sold to me! (Breed in captivity.... ) But as i put them in my thank it locks more like i have 2 types of fish. (yes i know the male and female do not realy look alike ) but i was sold 3 females and 2 males. But they "group together" in a group of 3 and a group of 2. The last 2 look allot bigger and fatter than the first 3. I tryed to take pictures of all of them but the bigger ones do not realy show themself yet.
So : Alot of pictures to help me identify the fish .
These are the 3 smallest with aprox 6-7cm.
