Elopicthys Bambusa - Yellow Cheek

Thanks Wes for the shoal of Bambusas. They arrived larger than I thought they would be but once in the outside pond, I can't find them..haha. We'll see how they turn out in the pond. They do swim as a shoal and come near the surface.
Arrived well packed and very healthy.

Not easy trying to find 6" fish in a pond. I'll start a growout thread later.

awesome. in what state do you live? I know they do well in cool water but can you leave them out year round?

I'm in SoCal. My pond water currently is at 65F. Never goes below 60F. They prefer 50F - 68F. Can they tolerant the warm Summer? We'll see. My water temp doesn't change much. I'm coastal.

Excited to see how these develop, I think a pond setup might be the best option for them. What kind of current do you have in your pond

Glad to see this Ken!

After 3-4 attempts I am bambusa-less again. I am determined to try again, now that I know "each and every way" to lose them!
