Hara filamentosa info?

[Desert Bus]

There doesn't seem to be a lot of info about them out there. Hera jerdoni seem to be more available.

Solid eaters, bad at hiding, peaceful, don't seem to group. I've been keeping them between 70-80f but had them up to 85f-ish?

One is begging me for more food right now. They eat a LOT more than you would expect and I've never seen one poop.

i added 2 more tubes but all of my fish that would go in the tubes have been repeatedly expelled from the OG tube by the Agamyxis sp. ??? and so they are wary

you go into a tube and encounter an angry catfish covered in spikes a few times? you probably get scared of #tubelyfe

I grabbed some frozen bloodworms and realized I had some frozen shrimp for humans. Tossed one in the tank and it's like catnip? They are just going insane for it. All 4 are VERY happy.

Gonna guess these guys like meat.

The other fish have discovered the shrimp. The Hara just ain't as boisterous as a bunch of Plecos and Garra.

I'm thawing a second one and preparing for a massive water change. I'll check the thermometer when I do to see what we're currently at but I think it should be mid 70s

One of them has gotten real into feeding on the roots and microfauna from the floating plants (Water Spangles (Salvinia minima)). I keep finding it upside down and thinking it's dead lol
