Centromochlus and more

We continue to find more fish spawning in the fishroom this week. We just had our Centromochlus perugiae lay a batch of eggs. These fish are very popular and for good reason, just look at the photo. So far, this is the only woodcat that cares for the eggs once they are laid. It will be interesting to see if any other Centromochlus share this behavior or if this is a rarity in the Auchenipteridae.


Also this week we found eggs from our Pseudomugil paskae and Pseudomugil ivantsoffi. Both species are splendidly colored and are members of the Blue Eye Rainbowfish group. We are hopeful to be able to offer offspring of these and other Pseudomugil very soon!
