I picked up a group of 10 Serpenticobitis last week and am picking up another 8 later this week

Some pics:

Where are you keeping them? From the little bit of info I've been able to find, it seems they should be happiest in a hillstream tank?

Yeah mine are in a 45 gallon river tank and they do certainly enjoy the flow

Absolutely beautiful , I wonder if any other of the Serpenticobitis's are in the hobby

Nice fish!!

We've got a handful of these currently on an airplane from Portland. Along with them are some cobalt blue and elegans stiphodons.

We got ours today. They are actually much cooler and prettier than I would have guessed from the photos.

We also got 4 cobalt and 3 elegans stiphodons, some nano rasboras, and danio tienwinii. Shipped across the country, no DOA. One little goby is looking a little whimpy and weak and frightened. I don't know how that one will do.

Now I have to go away for a long weekend, leaving them in katy's capable hands.

Congrats

The Danio tinwini are a lovely fish, I have a group of 18 in my Yananilus tank and the colours on them are stunning and such active fish

Good luch with the little goby

And now I am home, and the fish are in a dark tank and hiding. Except for the danios, who seem to be pretty frisky and enjoying the current in the q-tank.



The danios are still quite small. I do LOVE our Kyathits, though -- they have colored up so impressively! Hopefully the Tinwinis will do as well.

The tinwins max out at around 1" so they are not the biggest but once they have settled the colours on them are wonderful, mine have been eating quite a bit of white midge and bloodworm of late and have a lovely orange/gold tint to the body

Nice fish Mark. You have quite the collection.
