| − | :From fast flowing water in Borneo. | + | |sexing=:Females are plumper than males. |
| − | + | |tank_compatibility=:A peaceful fish that can be kept with other peaceful fish that don't mind the similar requirements this fish needs, in a tank with a strong current and high oxygenation. | |
| − | + | |diet=:Omnivorous and will accept most foods including [[flake food|flake]], [[algae pellets|algae wafers]], blanched vegetables and live food. Will enjoy frozen [[bloodworm]]s. | |
| − | + | |feeding_regime=:Algae pellets should be placed in the bottom of the tank on a regular basis, either daily or every other day. | |
| − | :Females are plumper than males. | + | |environment_specifics=:In the wild this fish is found in streams with a high current, this should be replicated in a tank environment with a strong current and very well aerated with immaculate water parameters. Plants aren't necessary but will help with aeration. They prefer large gravel or rounded stones as substrate. |
| − | + | |behaviour=:A shy bottom dweller. Provide plenty of hiding places with rounded river rocks. Needs it's wild environment replicated with a strong current and high oxygenation. Grazes on algae so needs good algae growth, is not bothered by planting as this fish won't encounter dense plant growth in the wild. | |
| − | + | |identification=:Can be mistaken for ''[[Gastromyzon scitulus]]''. A fairly chunky looking little fish with a sucker mouth like a pleco. The body is brown in base colour and covered with small cream-yellow spots. All fins are striped and blotched in cream-yellow with a hint of blue. It can be differentiated between this fish and ''[[Gastromyzon scitulus]]'' by the caudal fin, with this fish the stripes are unbroken and through the whole fin, on the ''G.scitulus'' they are broken and staggered in pattern. | |
