Brochis Splendens

Barracuda518 · Dec 18, 2006

I posted these pictures a while back in the picture forum, but I decided to post them here too:

Once again, please excuse the red eye :huh:

Really lovely, Barracuda!

I just must get my Brochis splendens on white sand. I have them on black and the green just doesn't show.

What is the spotted fellow poking his nose in

?

Thanks!

Well, there are 2 spotted fish in those pictures. The loach is a Botia kubotai and the fish is a Dianema longibarbis.

Is that a porthole catfish I see in one of those pics?! Nice! :good:

And sorry to share the spotlight, but my guys wanted to join in :lol:

here they are with the hitch hiker red tailed blue loach (who is now in the 10 gallon quarinteening)

And here they are in a trio, not the quarteet.

hehe, great fun to watch as always.

got a new porthole. I know I should have waited a bit, but I couldn't help it. check the pics section. gotta love em don't ya? :nod:

I also think I posted these somewhere in the pic forum, but don;'t recall them being posted here.

Porthole catfish are a great fish. Remember, they are a very shy and docile fish. They require company of their own kind more then any other fish Ive kept. I have had them for a year and a half and I have never seen one of them alone. In other words, you need to get some more to join the one you have :good:

EDIT: Just so you know, that Yasuhikotakia modesta (red tailed botia) is going to get nasty, especially since its by itself.

Yes, I have only one of the larger Brochis Multiradiatus [over 3 inch] and 3 smaller 1.5 inch. Also Got a few of Brochis Splendens in other tank at least 5-6 but the big one by himself with other Cory.

Barracuda518 · Dec 18, 2006

I dont understand. Why don't you keep them all together?

Gankutsuou · Dec 18, 2006

hmmmm. on the porthole....

shy? Not at all. Right now he's the most outgoing fish in the tank! :hyper:

He's up in the pennywort, down on the java moss, and all over. he's taking everything as his territory that other fish haven;t.

Don;t worry,. he should get two more friends come january 4th, should they not be sold.

Ok, but I would be more worried about that Yasuhikotakia modesta (red tailed botia) you have then the porthole catfish.

The Brochis I bought in different time and they are all in differnt tank some of the are in the big tank and hard to catch with heavy plants but I plan to keep them together soon.

They are happy with other Cory. The larger one I has him for a week now[ wild cought] in the store at least 3-4 month and only three left but I was low on my budget. I got other cory at the same time but I plan to get other who I left behind.

Ahh, I understand that. They can be tricky to catch, especially in a planted tank.
