Liopropoma rubre
Actual fish, not a stock photo:
I've had them since Feb 20 -- I thought they would be an interesting challenge to breed (Todd Gardner gave a program to LIRA last year on breeding this genus -- L. camabi).
I'm disappointed in their shyness -- it's not an "out in front" fish -- they zip out to eat and zip on back to their cave, even with no other fish in their tank. I have made no attempt to collect eggs, which are usually released around lights out and are pelagic.
If anyone else would like to take up the challenge, I would take what I paid for them from Diver's Den.
If interested, and would like me to bring them to the meeting tonight, call me between noon and 6pm.
