Trimma Tevegae?

Where did you get them? What do they eat? So they actually school up? I must have some.

Special order from my LFS. The wholesaler is Quality Marine.

I have tried to get them to eat everything I can think of (Cyclopeez, Nutramar Ova, etc) but they don’t seem interested. They are living off whatever they find in my tank. When I first got them I was sure they would die, they were so thin with sunken bellies. All have fattened up considerably over the 3+ weeks I have had them. Be sure they will be safe in your tank…will be a nice expensive lunch for most fish.

Yes…. they are always in a school or group. Unlike my other trimmas, they are not perchers. Swim in the water column.

wow those are so cool. will 3 do good in a pico lol

those are awesome.

Yup.... thats them alright. Excellent info. Aioliops megastigma

If you get them to eat let me know. A tiny fish that swims in the water column would be awesome.

Hi,

They are Aioliops megastigma, they're actually some kind of micro dartfish...

I'll be very interested in having a feedback from your experience, one year after you bought them. Are they still in your tank, all 6? What are their behaviour?

I want to get some, but I'm afraid they are very fragile fish... what do you think?

thanks!

I have had these in the past.

They do eat, and are not too difficult to maintain.

Only one word of caution, they don't live very long. (short lifespan)

Even with good husbandry, you'll be lucky to have them over 24months.
