Phractolaemus ansorgii.I've just come across a short video of this species.It is a pretty interesting looking fish that I have never heard of before.
Anyone here ever kept one?
 
fishhead0103666 fishhead0103666 recently ordered a few I think. He may know a bit about them.
 
I recently came across these. No one on MFK has kept one so far, I’m looking at them for my 55. KATALEKEEPER KATALEKEEPER knows some stuff about them as well
yeah, there's barely any info out there imo. From what we know, they like to live in groups, love planted tanks, will only eat frozen food, and need hiding spots. Are also usually pretty shy. Are from the congo, and grow to 8 inches.

So it turns out that The Wet Spot actually has some in stock.
 
my local store store gets them in a few times a year. He gets them from Rehoboth Aquatics. I think. They aren't super colorful, but they are interesting. They generally keep them in a mixed tank of African tetras with a few sections of PVC for hiding spots.
