All your fish and tank look absolutely gorgeous! GLWSale!
"lastly, selling a group of black tail hemiodus. These Are medium sized growing characins from the Amazon. Great dithers for medium sized cichlids. Adults can get up to 8 inches and they school well with constant activity. All 12 for $80."
Regarding the Hemiodus - Beautiful fish. I had a group of 4 and after losing one am left with just 3, which grew from 2.5 inches over 2 years ago, to currently adult(ish) at 7.5 inches (photo attached).
I have thought they are Hemiodus unimaculatus (northern SAmerica) but another possibility is H. orthonops (southeastern SAmerica) What do you call yours? Do you know where they came from? What did you purchase them as?
Do you also feel they are the same as mine?
Many thanks! (I wish I could take them but I am on the East coast, and don't have space anyway...what a shame!). I have only twice seen them for sale - Once in Colombia, and once in NJ where I purchased the 4 they had.
