Guppysnail Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) I know folks on the forum get tired of me daydream talking of these. I went to my LFS for crickets for Froggin and what did they have. ASIAN STONE MINI CATS 😍 ALL 6 came home with me today. Edited January 18 by Guppysnail 7 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I was reading about these recently apparently they are easy to breed using spawning mops or Javan Moss maybe you will have some baby stone cats further day the road 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 I have a Xmas moss ball that took over almost 1/3 of a 20 long I’m going to chop up. 🤞🏻They will be with least killifish so should be ok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theplatymaster Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 impulse buy? I can see why someone would want these. I can just imagine some of these cats, maybe chili rasboras, and pygmy cories. They look to be fun resedents for nano community tanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circumstances just never lined up. Due to how shy these are it is recommended no other bottom feeder with them or they will be outcompeted. They are carnivores and eat primarily microfauna and live foods though I have read they do eat some flake and small foods. So far only half are shy. The other half are up front. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennie Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 That's exciting!! As I'm kinda new here, it is my first time seeing about your dream fish. They look so tiny and unique! I've never seen them before. They look like a bottom dweller version of mini African Butterfly fish :D. Hope these little buddies have a great life ahead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
