Description
Schismatogobius ampluvinculus is a small, temperate goby native to certain Asian countries. Unlike many other gobies in the aquarium trade, these fish are completely peaceful, and are known to do very well in groups, both large and small. A fascinating detail about this fish is that it has the ability to change its color, somewhat akin to that of a chameleon.

DAY 139

Chain Pickerel
Esox niger
Size: 1.5’
pH: 4.0-7.0
Tank size: 90G/Individual
Country of origin: United States
Diet: Live and frozen foods
Temperament: Voracious ambush predator. Usually still and lonesome when not hunting
Temperature: 55-80° F
sg: 1.000-1.005
Description
Esox niger is a relatively small member of the pike family native to the United States, and sometimes found in introduced Canadian populations. Though their aggressive hunting behavior makes fish of the genus Esox popular sport fish in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia, they are usually very mellow when not feeding, and are often found floating in place, lying in wait for their next ambush.

DAY 140

Isann Freshwater Archerfish
Toxotes mekongensis
Size: 6”
pH: 6.5-8.5
Tank size: 55G/1 small group
Country of origin: From Thailand to Laos
Diet: Live and frozen foods
Temperament: Peaceful towards larger fish, though very predatory. Aggressive towards own species when kept in groups too small
Temperature: 75-80° F
Description
Toxotes mekongensis is another freshwater archerfish from the lower Mekong river. They are in many ways similar to the aforementioned Toxotes microlepis, with one major difference being their inability to live in brackish water. These fish were described very recently, in 2018, in fact, so, not much is known about this species compared to others. However, they are rather similar to other archerfish, and should be treated in a similar way.

Freshwater Moonfish
Citharinus citharus
Size: 2’
pH: 7.0-8.5
Tank size: 300G/1 small group
Country of origin: Gambia, Senegal, Niger, Ghana, Benin, Chad
Diet: Enjoys to graze on algae and biofilm, though most dry, frozen, and live foods of a appropriate size will likely work
Temperament: Large and robust. Will likely get along with similarly-sized fish
Temperature: 70-80° F
Description
Citharinus citharus, though a somewhat important food fish within its natural range, is very rare in the aquarium hobby. Little is known about their care. These large characins make for very interesting schooling fish in large aquariums, and would likely be good dither fish alongside very large monster fish.
