If you don’t know Odyssey’s videos, you’re missing out. His youtube channel is an amazing resource full of some of my favorite Stiphodon and Rhinogobius shot in the wild.

Last week, I was at the right place at the right time, and my good friend Ricky aka Inka4040/Pabloxanibar hooked me up with a clutch of Rhinogobius Zhoui eggs hanging from a rock. The beautiful parents are above. The eggs have been in a 2.5 gallon tank with an air driven sponge and powerhead for […]

Thanks to Mr. Chawla for pointing out that Frank’s Aquarium seems to have found a supplier for Stiphodon Percnopterygionus. Last year I built a fast flowing river tank specifically for these tiny algae eaters, and have been waiting for a chance to find some friends! Way to go frank!

Update Oct7, 2012: I’ve noticed this is a pretty popular page, with a lot of you finding it from your image searches for Chili Endlers. I still have these available, and breeding strong, if anyone is interested. Get in touch! And no on to the original story… I’ve been having a lot of luck with […]

Back in March 2009, I started up a 20 gallon tank with a stepped cork background, to see how cork stood the test of time. It’s had a few small hickups along the way, but for the most part is a really nice tank that is pretty easy to maintain. I documented the tank over […]
