Robbo Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Hi Suemack, what an absolutely stunning fish! Just to put it in perspective what is his length? Cheers, Robbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suemack Posted November 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 hi robbo - length from nose to end of tail fins is about 2 1/2 - 3 inches. Not very big and a very slim line build. He is hemiloricaria sp (not sure of the number) sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan_au Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Hi Sue, It's Hemiloricaria lanceolata, The have been around for a long time but are not common. They come in two natural colour forms, brown and red. Breeding is the same as with other Hemiloricaria, spawn in a tube or cave, water logged bamboo or PVC pipe, commonly used. Male cares for the eggs and fry untill they are free swimming. Omnivorous so feed both veg and meat. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
