MattKeymasterThat’s the same locality as Puntius erythromycter mate. Bit more habitat info here.

oakenParticipantHappy to report that I now have lots of newly hatched fry from these beauties. Too small to get a picture of though, they really are tiny.

BigTomParticipantPicked up three of these that had been languishing in a shop near me for a few weeks. Pretty sure I’ve got two males and a female, will get some footage soon for confirmation. Seem to settling in nicely and taking frozen food as long as it wafts about in the water column a bit. Not much colour to them yet, will see how they do.
January 25, 2012 at 8:18 pm #346920
oakenParticipantCool. Make sure to get some pictures of them! Or video?!
January 26, 2012 at 8:10 pm #346936
BigTomParticipantQuick video of them here –
The tank is newly set up so is still a little messy, but they seem happy at the moment. The adult male is complete attention whore, he’s up against the front glass begging whenever he sees me come near. Much less shy than I was expecting.
January 27, 2012 at 3:33 pm #346953
BigTomParticipantOh, and a question.
I’m fully expecting to need to move one of the males when they start getting territorial. Do you think there’s any wisdom in removing either the adult or subadult male preferentially? The female looks about the same age as the younger male.

I don’t think it would matter really. They’re not really anything like cichlids where the female would be able to “hold her own” against a male if they were of a similar size. With Dario spp. I find that the males are always chasing the females relentlessly anyway.
