staetocranus causarius - new video added

Unread post by jibran_shariff »

These pics are very very old
I had a blast keeping these beauties

A brilliant riverine fish that lives in fast moving current
Mostly a bottom dweller

The male I had was close to 4.5" and the female was close to 2.5"
They both were got at the same size

Anyways here are some pics

Any dead fish can flow down the river but it takes a live one to swim back up stream.

Yeah
I loved the tiny hops the juvenile fish used to make

BTW there are also other species, Staetocranus tinanti
Known as the riverine brichardis and those are absolute beauties I had the luck to get one male and female but both the specimens didn't make it they starved themselves to death

See if you can get them and some for me too if you can :)
