Assortment of pics
Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2007 8:31 pm
Whilst taking pictures of the Emperor Botia at the shop last night, I also took a few random shots of other species, which I thought I'd share.
First off, another series showing 'a Tangle of Tigers'. The first one is a bit dark, but you should be able to spot them all. They have the length of a 4ft tank to roam, but in the evenings choose to pile up in a big heap together. Those S. berdmorei were very underweight when they arrived, but they have undergone Levamisole treatment and have gained a lot of weight (except for one or two, which we'll keep working on):
Syncrossus berdmorei (with skunks and S. helodes in the background):
Syncrossus helodes (mature adult):
Aborichthys elongatus resting in strange positions:
The beautiful Lepidocephalichthys thermalis:
Yasuhikotakia eos (they get very excited, thinking they are about to be fed):
Annamia species from Vietnam (currently being marketed as Vietnamese Homaloptera):
Yasuhikotakia modesta:
This is a new Schistura species from Vietnam, known as Schistura sp. 'danang'. I need to get some clearer pics of these:
And an unknown goby contaminant that arrived with the abovementioned Schistura:
Rosy Loaches:
Golden Weather Loaches (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) - this first pic is a bit blurry, but shows a pretty one I have got my eye on!
Buried in the sand:
And finally, some rare pics of the reclusive adult Sewellia sp. 'spotted' from the River Tank at home:
See the pectoral fences on this male:
A minor scuffle:
The most impressive set of tubercles and pectoral fences ever!
Hope you enjoyed them.
