I've got some awesome little fish. I got them from FG around 3 years ago and I've raised em to their max size of around 1.5-2". They are easy to keep and excellent additions to a small species or community tank.
They do not like hard water and prefer to be kept in conditions similar to houston tap pH ~7.4. However I've been keeping them at a lower pH without any problems.
I HAVE gotten eggs from them recently: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/v...d5ad1d2b3b0e1c
But they were not viable likely because my tank conditions were too acidic.
But now I'm having to downsize and will have to let these guys go. They can serve as an excellent project fish for any catfish or breeding enthusiast. Spawning is triggered easily and seems to be controlled temporally (April being the best month) and by temperature and water level. Egg viability is pretty much the last parameter to hammer out. Past successes have been around 7.4pH.
They are definitely one of my favorite fish and are very full of personality when you do get to see them (they are rather cryptic.)
I'm asking for 60 dollars for the whole group. OBO.
If you're interested let me know.
