Vietnamese Homaloptera

I found these Annamia sp the other day. They seem a little under weight at the moment. They are around 3 inches TL. Emma, these came in from Vietnam listed as above in my topic title. You may be interested

Here's one lousy picture for now. These chaps like the shaded area's.

Nice....definitely needs plumping up though.

I've had these chaps in stock for the past 2 months.

Mine are much fatter though! They have remarkable colour changing abilities too.

Cheers.

You know Emma. I had a feeling that you already had these in stock after i posted.

Any favorite foods for them or are they the same as the usual foods for other Annamia sp's and Homaloptera's. Here's a couple more pictures.

Hmmm....that yellow-finned Gastromyzon in the first pic (last post) is sexy. Very nice.

You know, that's the first thing I noticed, too.

Nice Annamia sp. , Graeme. They remind me a bit of H. yunnanensis

Ah yeah! This chap below. I've kept this contamination for a few months now. He came in with other Gastromyzon's. I posted a picture of him a while ago. I still have no idea what he is. I've even looked in the Tan Heok Hui book.

Thats correct Jim. A larger version. My H. yunnanensis are acting very aggressively as of late. This is mainly with each other, especially at feeding time.

We started them off with our famous 'small foods mix' - baby brineshrimp, daphnia and cyclops - (which seems to get most fish feeding), plus white mosquito larvae. Now they take pretty much any small foods, including dried stuff such as catfish pellets and fine granular foods. I'm sure you'll get yours fattened up in no time.

Just got a couple of these and thrown them in the stream tank. I think they're a really interesting fish, love the shape. How are yours doing, Graeme? Any tips?

Hi Matt. At the moment i'm feeding mine with a variety of small sized foods like Black/White mosquito larvae, crushed flake/catfish pellets, Bloodworms, Brineshrimp, daphnia. They seem to enjoy nibbler-ling around for foods on the substrate and pebbles. I try to spray the food around so that they can search for food in their own time, without others devouring it before hand.
