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![]()
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

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.
