Small gold fish? Did the HT go for it?

Yeah
But it was very small. Probably the size of a peppermint shrimp

 

[sc50964]

Okay i see. It was a Molly.

 

[goreef170]

I would start with 3-4" size. Is that one a australia one ?

 

[usingthejohn]

I think It's an indo pacific one. I'll give it a shot. View attachment 292459

Well its been a while, so I thought i would update this thread. My Aussi Harlequin Tusk didn't make it

I could never get it to eat. I wanted to try another one, waited a bit, and recently found one at my LFS. He is about 6-7", he is a Aussi. So I pulled the trigger and got him. This one is doing really good. Second day and he is eating...Here is a pic...

I also lost mine I got. Seems one of my fish had an ich outbreak when I transfered them back into the DT. I picked up a small one,hes about 3". I got him in a black Friday deal for $56.00 Hes doing really well in the tank and was eating on day 2 as well.

I hope yours stays healthy!

Good to hear you got a good one this time

How about a pic ???

 

[kegogut]

This is the best I could get right now~

Very Cute !

Do you know if its a Indo or Aussi ?

 

[Marshall O]

Based on size and price, very likely Indo.

 

[kegogut]

I'm not sure but I'm gonna guess Indo because of the price.

 

[albano]

Based on size and price, very likely Indo.

I've never seen any tiny/small Aussey tusks FS

My HT doing just great. Getting fat but not much longer. He is a lot more colorful also. About 3.5 inches at this time

When I first got him 4 months ago

 

[goreef170]

Looking good Minh !

Looking at the pics, r/s of tail looks red like the Aussi type, and l/s of tail looks white. Maybe the red is the reflection of the rocks ?

Now I see the dates you put above pics... Wow developed a lot of red on that tail !

Hey albano...

But you never shared a pic of your H.T. Thats if you have one, and I beleive you do right???

So lets see a pic buddy

IMO,
The size and health of the HT matter a lot in coloration. Australia HT maybe a little better in coloration but if size and health are the same, origin of the fish mater some but not as much as most of us thought.
