If the temperature drops below 20'C ( 69'F ), then the Indian Algae eater or sucking loach will stop doing what?

Sorry... just noticed Geo's question...

 

[mlawson]

According to me. None of the ones listed there. Ibelieved it was B. sabanus.
Although after that it would be B.

 

[Castellop123]

To answer Geo's question...

I think the answer is B... Brachygobius doriae...

Cheers...

 

[mommyof2bettas]

A?

 

[geo7x]

well, youre both right, it was both.

To mlawson, of course it could be varied but i based the answer on many other opinions of goby experts, also B. sabanus is in a single species group along with B. doridae and B. nunus, and each of the three fish are very difficult to tell apart from each other.

So it could be said that you were right in the first place anyway, as B. doridae and B.sabanus are virtually the same fish lol

edit: mommy, youre wrong and about as wrong as you could be lol B. xanthozona is probably the rarest fish of the lot, being extremely rare in the wild let alone in the aquatics trade.

Ok...

Cheers...

 

[mlawson]

Not the Eastern Rainbowfish but the Western Rainbowfish.
Don't ask me what the scientific name is.

 

[Castellop123]

The scientific name is Melanotaenia splendida australis...

Cheers... Your turn...

 

[mlawson]

Ok.

I am a livebearer. I inhabit mainly brackish waters. I have a maximum size of 30cm. My young may be born fully formed and at 3cm. I am tricky to keep in aquria nad require a large, spacious tank. I can see both out above the water and under the water at the same time.

No cheating. latin name please.
