DAY 55

Royal Clown Loach
Leptobotia elongata
Size: 18"
pH: 7.0-7.5
Tank size: 200G/Individual
Country of origin: China
Diet: Most live, frozen, and prepared foods of an appropriate size will suffice
Temperament: Peaceful towards tankmates too large to be eaten
Temperature: 70-75° F
Description
Lo and behold, Leptobotia elongata is the largest loach in the world. Despite its name suggesting that it is some species or variation of clown loach, it is not, as there is only one described species in the genus Chromobotia, the clown loaches. However, the two fish are still somewhat closely related, due to the fact that both are loaches.

?????
I would like to add that this species needs to be kept in a group, according to Emma Turner. Minimum of 5.
The 'holy grail' of loaches?

Chinese Red Perch
Siniperca chuatsi
Size: 2’
pH: 7.0-7.5
Tank size: 180G/Individual
Country of origin: China
Diet: Live and frozen foods
Temperament: Peaceful towards tankmates too large to be eaten
Temperature: 65-75° F
Description
Siniperca chuatsi is a large, temperate predator that is in many ways comparable to datnoids. These fish, though predatory, are not advised alongside overly aggressive tankmates, as it is possible they will be bullied. May appear boring in color from first glance, but exhibit vibrant red patterning.

Description
Arothron firmamentum is a primarily marine species belonging to an exclusively marine and brackish genus of pufferfish. Very little is known about this fish’s aquarium care, and therefore, some aspects of this profile are based on educated guesses. This is not the only Arothron species known to enter fresh and brackish waters.

Grunting Toadfish
Allenbatrachus grunniens

Country of origin: India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines
Diet: Live and frozen foods
Temperament: Relatively peaceful, though predatory
Temperature: 75-80° F
sg: 1.005-1.025
Description
Ending 2021 is Allenbatrachus grunniens. Allenbatrachus grunniens is one of the numerous toadfish known to enter brackish and freshwater environments. Can be maintained in freshwater for an extended period of time, though is very likely to perish. Contrary to popular belief, this fish is not venomous, and is therefore, in most cases, non-lethal. Still capable of piercing skin.
