  • One reason for Scleromystax barbatus uncommonality is it's appearance. The adult male is truly an unusual looking fish. It can grow to over four inches, making it one of the largest of the genus.

    Caught a male in the wild last sunday..
    it is pretty active... and it is already schooling with some other corys.
    It is also adorable wathcing them on their natural habitat

    he caught a wild one, therefore he has seen them in their natural habitat.

      Incorrect, Maidenhead aquatics get these from time to time

    That doesn't make sense on two accounts. These are not a schooling species. When they are forced into a tank and must be with other fish, I can see how that would appear to be schooling, which leads me to my next point...how is a tank a natural habitat?
