There is an article about Coreoperca kawamebari (then known as Bryttosus kawamebari) in German magazine DATZ, issue 7/1995. A number of fishes were brought back to Germany from a japanese aquarium shop. They were quite aggressive towards each other, but otherwise easy to keep and fed with live insects, earthworms and fish. Spawning took place on a vertical substrate, e.g. the aquarium glass. Raising fry was easy according to the author. There was a remark at the end that the species might be able to reprodce without a partner, since a single animal produced a viable spawn separated from its partner by a wire mesh.

Love the video! I love Asian fish. When I was in Taipei I saw a bunch of wild mudskippers hanging out on a piece of garbage foam floating in a river. The habitat didn’t look very complicated. It was amazing to see them despite the garbage.

@belowwater Жыл бұрын

well, that is not their normal place. They are usually in mangroves, and go from dry to wet, also they are territorial, so they need a lot of space....

A couple of years ago I had the oppurtunity to visit a public aquarium in Seoul. It had a room dedicated to native freshwater fish and I was stunned to see rare catfish, salmonids, loaches and cyprinids, never mentioned in popular western literature. They also had a very impressive species of freshwater perch, one of the most beautiful predatory fish I've seen. Unfortunately I forgot their name (Siniperca, probably, but I'm not sure).

@belowwater Жыл бұрын

there are several really nice Siniperca, my guess is S.scherzeri, roulei or chuatsi

another amazing video, now this is brilliant seeing these fish for the first time, would make really good biotope type Japanese aquariums I would think most plus no heater required maybe a cooler for some , do Japan export any speices

@belowwater Жыл бұрын

Afraid not, some similar fish are available from China, but there is just no market for new fish.... people want the same species they know! Same goes for the unusual fish from India.

What size city was this aquarium located in? I'm in the twin cities in Minnesota and there are sporting goods stores that have giant native fish displays, but the behaviorals are nothing in that their big display fish seem suspended animation, there's a 10,000 gallon tropical pond at the Como zoo that has big pacu and two species of Midas like cichlids, and a separate smaller pond with stingrays and a webbed footed turtle, I'm forgetting the name put footage on my channel of it but need to find out it's nomenclature. I recall you being in canada, in your travels have you seen in the United States a display tank similar to what was shown off here in Japan displaying natives? The habitat replication in those tanks were spectacular, the troutish ones specifically

@belowwater 3 ай бұрын

the best native displays i have seen in North America are at the Tennessee Aquarium. This place is in Gifu, which is roughly the size of Minneapolis, but sits near the "hot spot" for Japanese freshwater diversity.

_L.elongata_ is from China, Yangtze river basin, i think all 15 or so species in _Leptobotia_ are only in China.
