A few updates for you to feast your eyes on. First, our Hisonotus aky, Emerald Green Otos continue to produce eggs and fry. It is hoped that we will be able to start offering this species some time in 2017. The fry require very small foods to start and can be somewhat sensitive to changes. The species does best in cool, soft water but the adults are very straight forward in their care.
Recently, we obtained a really interesting Auchenipteridae species in Tetranematichthys wallacei. We were able to acquire this cool woodcat from Rivers to Reefs here in Central Ohio. R2R, as I like to call it, is a hobbyist friendly fish store that caters to die hard hobbyist like yours truly. T. wallacei is an unusual woodcatfish species that shares a lot of traits with Ageneiosus. Especially if you look at the head region of the two genera. Tetranematichthys is a very timid species so care must be given not to place them with more active species like Tatia, Centromochlus and Trachelyopterus. However the species does do well with the also timid Trachelyopterichthys taeniatus. For more information on Tetranematichthys, visit PlanetCatfish at: Tetranematichthys wallacei Info.
Happy Holidays!
