I got more hillies

Post by bullisbm » Thu Jan 31, 2008 8:24 pm

I got a call from the lfs..and the got some 'spotted' ones in.

I think they are Gastromyzon scitulus. Here is a quick pic I got. Sorry it is not better my camera is acting up.

The new one is on the left already fighting with the Beaufortia kweichowensis.

They had some that looked like Gastromyzon ocellatus but no red on them. I wish I had more room.

The one thing I have noticed about these is that they seem much more aggressive then the Beaufortia kweichowensis or the small sewellia in the tank I have them in.

The larger of the two I got just came in and said I am in charge here. It was rather funny.

That will probably change when the beaufortia and sewellia get larger.
