Unfortunately I have no idea of the rock origin, I got it from a private person. Is there a way to convince the little guy to come out of the hole for taking some pictures? I tried to lift the rock above the water but it did not jump down.I'm stumped
Where did the rock originate from bychance? Never seen this one before, the eye stalks do not match typical smashers. I don't believe its chorisquilla for that reason.
Kinda reminds me of a strange color morph of E. guerinii but even that's a stretch (and would be easy to debunk with the tail). The colors seem to make G. annularis but the eye stalks still dont.
Ok I will try to befriend him lol. It is already eating frozen/crushed dove snails from the tongs, so I guess I can try to slowly move the bait away from the hole every day a bit more. I am definitely not gonna kill the fella, but if someone in EU is interested I could ship it. For now it will live in a 5g tank while I set up the new tank and afterwards I could keep it in the sump. It would be annoying if it was going to kill all my snails and crabs in my DT, otherwise I would keep it there..It'll never just slide out, best case scenario is to get a plastic fork/long tooth pick and try training it to frozen, it'll come out further over a week possibly smelling it and searching for the food when it hits the water. At that point you might be able to trap it with food using this method:
I assume you're interested in keeping it?
Yeah it's a slow mo video so it's quite heavy, it takes a lot to load. This is a photogram, quality is not great, I am trying to take some better pics with the macro lensI’m not seeing the video, shoot. Do you have a pic you can post?
From a first look it looks orange, but it is hard to tell without decent pictures. I need to find a way to make it get out of the hole for decent pictures. This is the best I could get for now, but maybe this weekend I will dedicate some time to this.Can you tell what color his meral spots are? They’re a small round indent on the top of the part the smasher hangs from
He’s so cute! No help on ID but awesome find.From a first look it looks orange, but it is hard to tell without decent pictures. I need to find a way to make it get out of the hole for decent pictures. This is the best I could get for now, but maybe this weekend I will dedicate some time to this.
In the end I found a lady that bought a bunch of things from my aquarium including the little fellacurious about what happened to this little guy or if you ever got an ID on him, hes very pretty lol
