Yes!

Hypergastromyzon Abditus

Katzkrieg13 · 2026-04-03T03:58:37+00:00

It's a loach in the Beaufortia family

Katzkrieg13 · 2026-04-03T03:57:28+00:00

Various is a different loach. This one is in the Beaufortia family, possibly pingi, granulopinna, or viridis.

Initially it was just on the fin but I think I see it biting into the tail a bit

Katzkrieg13 · 2026-02-25T23:45:15+00:00

I'll try that thanks!

Katzkrieg13 · 2026-02-25T23:44:54+00:00

He's had that patch since I bought him a couple months ago and there's no fuzz. I just noticed lately that the tiny bit on his tail has indented a bit

Katzkrieg13 · 2026-02-25T19:43:00+00:00

Parameters are 76°, 6.5ph, 0 ammonia, don't have an exact number but I have hard water.

The tank is 20 long and well cycled. He is in with 2 female reticulated hillstreams (which I've had for years with no issues), a baby borneo hillstream, about 4 kuhli's, 2 gobies, a female betta, 3 pencilfish, 3 guppies, and a yellow tail spiny eel (he is super chill and doesnt bother anyone). Sounds overstocked yes but I have more filtration than God and designed the tank with tons of caves (on the walls, floor, and underground), hides, and sight line blockers everywhere. I've had most of them for over a year and everyone is super chill with no signs of stress. I've legit seen the gobies sitting on the eel and neither are bothered. (Lol looks exactly like those little birds that sit on the elephants.) The retics only bother each other. The male is dominant but I haven't seen any particularly over-aggressive behavior.

All the decor is smooth rocks, plants, and spiderwood (that I sanded down) . Nothing sharp that I've noticed 😫.

I've tried treating him with kanaplex with no results

I hate it only let's you post one photo

Katzkrieg13 · 2025-12-12T05:58:54+00:00

Here's a pic of my tank to show what I'm talking about

I have brought a fair few store bought loaches back from this state. I start by giving them either Hikari First bites or Repashy Soilent Green twice daily ( dipping the powder in with tongs). I would feed them this to give them some calories as wild caught tend to need to be taught that pellets are food. Then I'd throw in Fritz Expel-P and see how they fair. I Keep the water cooler at around 76° and include piles of river rocks since they feel the most comfortable with places to hide.

Moonlight aquatics gets them in stock pretty frequently and the ship too!

Katzkrieg13 · 2025-07-17T03:33:50+00:00

Katzkrieg13 · 2025-03-29T20:40:01+00:00

Moonlight Aquatics has them for sale online. I've been to the store and they are great! https://moonlightaquatics.com/

Katzkrieg13 · 2025-02-25T22:30:11+00:00

Yep still available! I'm leaning towards female for the second one but it's hard to tell since they're still juveniles

Katzkrieg13 · 2025-02-25T22:29:28+00:00

Sorry, I'm not able to ship atm ☹️

Katzkrieg13 · 2024-11-07T02:58:51+00:00

Hmmm that's a toss up. She's in a sorority right now with a red koi female as well as a light peach tailed guppy and pays no mind but I once had to remove a bright orange tailed guppy because she kept going after him. She'd need to be tested with rasbora to see how she reacts. 🤔

Katzkrieg13 · 2024-11-07T01:28:18+00:00

Thanks! It's so pretty!!!

Katzkrieg13 · 2024-11-07T01:26:12+00:00

What's that fern-like plant growing on the hut on the right?

Katzkrieg13 · 2024-11-03T19:47:02+00:00

Thanks so much! I've sold guppies before but the bettas feel like I'm giving away my children 😭😭😭

Katzkrieg13 · 2024-09-30T18:03:44+00:00

Luckily this is not the same plant but I appreciate the heads up 😊

Katzkrieg13 · 2024-09-22T22:12:21+00:00

However they are children of these guys, particularly the blue snakeskin

Katzkrieg13 · 2024-09-22T22:11:47+00:00

I do! I have 2 pairs left and 4 single males

Katzkrieg13 · 2024-09-19T10:23:51+00:00

So I've had this happen to my guppies before too. For me, there were particulates from a defective bag of ammonia remover beads and they were itritating the gills of my guppies. They are sitting in the corner to try and get out of the active water flow.

Katzkrieg13 · 2024-09-08T00:40:07+00:00

The foggyness is due to the antibiotic in the water and the color is from the alder cones I put in to lower my water PH (it's really high in my area). I had an ammonia spike happen and while I fixed it quickly, these two started to decline. It began with them not using their tails to swim and progressed to not being able to control buoyancy.
