Sturisomatichthys sp. "Colombia"

A few updates in the fishroom for the month. Our zebra plecos continue to produce. These should be available late spring. In addition our lipbrooders and L136s continue to produce. The L136s are throwing some interesting babies as I previously reported. The lipbrooding catfish, Loricaria sp. "Rio Atabapo" are just plain fun to watch and happen to be a diurnal species.

New this week, our Sturisomatichthys sp. "Colombia" have produced a batch of fry. This species is closely related to Sturisoma, Royal Farlowellas. This species is different in that they throw red juveniles.  We hope to be able to offer these in the near future. See the red female below with a normal colored male. More updates to come including an update on a few killifish species!
