  1. It is time to update this topic and add a few pictures of my Gastromyzon. Recently I found one beautiful Borneo Sucker but I don't know what spieces it might be. I have to do more research but it is impossible to do on a live fish so I need to wait and be patient until it dies to preserve and study it. Here are my new pictures: It is time to update this topic and add a few pictures of my Gastromyzon. Recently I found one beautiful Borneo Sucker but I don't know what spieces it might be.

  2. Although I try to keep a Borneo biotop in my fishtank, it is impossible to resist to put some eye catching fish in there so I broke my own rule and added some other fish than from a Borneo biotop. One such fish was my litle Corydoras habrosus which has been 'discovered' by me in a group of C. paleatus. I did not miss that opportunity to get it. Unfortunately two years later my lovely fish died so everything regarding my C. habrosus is just the memory of the great time I have had.
  3. Yes, stealth mode was the problem. I changed my server setings and now is ok
  4. Thanks for the positive comments. The fishtank is over two years old now and I have had no issue about anything apart that the fish once had white spot. All fish are happy and I hope it will stay as it is. Basic tank setup is shown on the picture. There are two water pumps, an Eheim Aquaball Powerhead 650 l/h and an Eden pump 300 l/h. The Aquaball Powerhead takes water from an undergravel filter and the Eden is located at the other side of the spray bar so both pumps together make a 'Run' habitat which I prefer over 'Riffle' habitat. The fishtank is 3 foot long. Temperature is set to 24 ºC. The water temperature in Borneo is typically a few degrees (2 - 3) cooler than air temperature so I think it is ok. At least the fish are doing well. All Gastromyzon coming over to NZ under the name of G. borenensis but we have a very slim chance to see true G. borenensis. What species I have seen so far are all Gastromyzon which are collected at Sarawak and Kalimantan around Kuching town. I wish I am wrong, but if I am not it does mean that we can't see more then 10 species here in NZ, even less than that, out of 35 Gastromyzon species. If anybody would like a hillstream fishtank, don't rush out to a LFS to buy all these species. Just be patient and over time you might see different Borneo suckers in your shop.

  7. Altolamprologus calvus I have four of them and they are about 5-6 cm in length. I hope there is one male and 3 females.

  9. Hi, I would say that is easy to keep Moorish idol “If you know what you are doingâ€. Of course, you should have a proper equipment. I have never had any problem with them. Obviously Janses pet shop has own customers and own price policy. It should not be our business or subject of this forum.
  10. Hi Cees, Nice work but one warning on css . Line 133 . In addition, NN4.xx has a problem width code color: transparent for a table and td. Better option is “color: inherit†Colour scroll+w3.org = sorry :-? Ok, I am going to visit web design forum now.
