This fish were amazing. Truly gorgeous. Tiny tiny tiny. So wonderful. Survived for months nearly unattended in a low tech tank I had downstairs.
Then, I move them upstairs to my high tech 60-P. I spent 18 hours acclimating them. I'd even put an otocinclus affinis in there first, because for me those have always been extra sensitive fish, so the otos were my sacrificial lambs to make sure the tank was in good condition for the parotocinclus.
But them in, they did great for 24 hours. And then, kapoof.
It's a real tragedy, I may never see this species again.
Bad pic, but for size that's an ADA suction cup for a 13mm lily pipe
Again, for size....see that little bitty white spec on top of the driftwood?
If you ever see these, they are terrific fish.
