a semi adult badis.badis in her natural environment eats worms and fish fry
I'm not convinced it is <"Badis badis">.a semi adult badis.badis in her natural environment eats worms and fish fry
What's the source on this fish?
- like Darrel, I think she looks atypical for Badis badis
Interesting tank set up but tank appears very small - though perhaps that is just photo (mis)perception
Thanks for posting (even though it seems all I'm offering is criticism, hope it comes off as curious interest as that is the intent )
I've got a better monitor on this PC. If you look at the rear edge of the operculum you can see it has an extension with a black blotch, which is strongly suggestive that it is a Climbing Perch (below).I think she looks atypical for Badis badis
The miss disguised pause in its behaviour suggest that it is not atypical but female in nature... im an expert on eastern aquaculture
And because of its agressive nature its fry are also independent in nature
Yet the prospects of raising a badis badis is thougher yet raising an wild caught semi adult is easier due to the fact that it is carnivoures in nature
Badis badis is the fry ecological terminology and the adult im my language is ikan tanah payau

Natural behabviour is a compodium of natural excess and unaltercated behaviour... responding to a situational position of its liking within circumstances of natural excess...I'm not sure how you are going to see natural behaviour in such a small tank?

Badis aren't difficult to keep and breed, you can use exactly the same methods you would use for Apistogramma.Yet the prospects of raising a badis badis is thougher yet raising an wild caught semi adult is easier due to the fact that it is carnivoures in nature
Anyways creating a biotope is the most challenging occupation
I'm not quite sure how the Tetra (Hyphessobrycon eques?) fit in with the biotope concept. I'd also be a bit worried about them being eaten by their, fairly large, tank mate.Hence why when building a biotope it is important to ecrue the timing of entry for each fish viable to its need. And why fishmates must always cater to the first entry in terms of species and timing.
