Perhaps but there is also a s. axelrodi with slight differences in fin. If i trust the information i found s. axelrodi is very infrequenly imported and s. goblinus is much more common. There is a slight difference in the colouring and found in totally different locations.

Tid bit there are two fishes now known as blue rasboras; Sundadanio axelorodi and Sundadanio goblinus.

Just updating my lists of pictures:

So here are three random pictures of plants that have grown a bit too much. First up is some random anubia - the provider said it was nana but the leaves appear a bit larger to myself than typical nana though perhaps most of the ones i have sold as nana are really nana petite. Anyway i acquired...

Did i ever tell you about my kitten; she was a gray tabby. Technically she was my sisters cat but since my sister took my orange tabby; it was only fair that the grey one bonded with me. Well after a while my sister took her with her when she went to college but when i visited my sister the...

Well..... for me i found the magic to kill snails without poisons. Just borrow my trusty zebra loach for a week end vacation - let it rip (or rip snails) and then return it back home. In theory the small dwarf chain loach will also eat snails but i've never owned them so no first hand commetn...

tds 20 is pretty high - be aware the sediment filter and carbon filter (if you are not pre-removing chlorine) have to be replace periodically; if you do this then the ro membrane should last a couple of years IF your system back flushes and your tds is not overly high. -- In my case i have...

While you are welcome to spend money on meds in general as i said fungus will grow on a wound and as the wound heals it will get worse and then vanish. There are of course exceptions and other causes for fungus that sometime but rarely require active treatment (passive treatment includes keeping...

Update with plants and fish - i will consider this start with regards to plants: They are shy but not super shy - you see one right there in front. I'm not sure if they are a bonded pair but unlike kribs i previously owned these two hang out together. The kribs did not until they bonded. The...
