My dance with the devils

Quick update:
I added some #30/40 garnet sand and river rocks. The sand looks pretty purple instead of the usual red. I actually like it. I also added 1 more goonch from Mike over at Jurassic Aquatics. I highly recommend him guys! Not my first time working with him and he also threw in his last 5 tors for free.
The new guy. He has a weird left eye but I like it. Like Mike said, it's like 2 different goonches now.
Here's the 4. 1st pic is 3 and the 2nd is the 4th.

Pickin up a new guy tomorrow for anyone still following. No idea what kind he is though. It's definitely a Thai but doesn't look ruti to me. My guy says its bagarius bagarius which, back in the day, we all believed to be the true dwarf. Here's a couple head shots of it.

Nice to see all is well with ur goonch party

It could be a suchus but I highly doubt it is. I think it just looks super flat cuz it's small but it doesn't look any flatter than my smaller rutilus which are about 4-6" and this new guy should be around 6". I guess I'll find out today when I go to pick it up

Update: I ended up not gettin the goonch cuz something came up and we weren't able to meet up. Then a few days later, 1 of the goonches died, so i decided to sell the others. I'm done with goonches for now because I have been extremely busy and haven't really had time to care for them. I will again 1 day. Not sure when though.

Sucks dude, I was rooting for you. Good to set your sights on the future though, hopefully something can be done about these mystery deaths.

Thanks man. I'm just gonna wait till later on when I'm not soo busy and set up a drip system on all the tanks. That way I don't have to worry about wc's cuz that's definitely what made keeping any of my tanks such a pain. My snakes are so much easier. I just mist, feed and spot clean once a week and top off their water everyday. Takes about 20 min total for the entire week.

Thanks to Rob's amazing new Goonch writeup, I must update my thread which I completely forgot about. Oops.
So not very many people know but I acquired a suchus from my good friend. I have had it for about 1-1/2 months now and I believe I figured out what has been going on in my tanks. There was most likely some sort of parasite that water changes and meds could not rid of and, I have no idea why I didn't think of it before, but I hooked up a uv sterilizer. All of my fish have been doing much better because of this and my goonch has not died! So here he is! The new suchus!
