Pangio Time.....

Post by Graeme Robson » Tue Apr 24, 2007 7:16 pm

Well after a long wait, i've eventually found some more Pangio myersi. These little chaps should be a nice addition with the other old breeders. :D All are still very much juvenile.

Here's also some Pangio kuhli that i also found mixed in with some Pangio semicincta. With an Pangio oblonga :D

Nice job, Graeme, but hard to believe you're still after more fish!

Beautiful, beautiful pictures of very lovely fish.

Surely though, that "oblonga" is in actual fact a "Panda kuhli"?

I know.....don't call you Surely :wink:

Are that myersi's pectoral fins a bit bloodshot or is it my imagination?

Thanks. :D

Good shout Martin! I forgot about the small Panda pangio. Yeah some of these Pangio oblonga are not in the best shape. Hopefully, i little bit of TLC should work.

Thanks Hels. These are not as bad as the Pangio anguillaris and Pangio doriae for hiding in the substrate. Although they do enjoy the wood and the plants as the hidy shelter.
