they look nice

I know!! And I want to buy them!!

They now live in a 152l I think...
And if I buy them they will get much bigger tank

Because I'm soon setting up a 240l tank... But I also really want borneensis.. But I will never know when they even get them to Norway

They look like my Auriglobus silus to me, but I'm not sure how to tell the difference. I believe Chonerhinos is the former name and it was changed to Auriglobus, but I very well could be wrong about that.

It looks like they are named Auriglobus nefastus now...

Roberts(1981): A. nefastus should have a small darkspot above and behind the eyes. Upper lip should be protruding. Finray counts won't help you much with the Auriglobus spp.

I think there is an ID guide to the Auiglobus species in the Aqualog book (one of the last pages).

Looking in the aqualog I would say A.silus if I had to make a choice

I don't know...

But if it's A.silus... Any info on them?

Posted: **Fri May 18, 2007 8:50 am**

Basically the same as modestus.

Posted: **Sun May 20, 2007 4:45 pm**

Same size also?

Posted: **Sun May 20, 2007 4:50 pm**

Slightly smaller. Approximately 10cm for modestus, approximately 8cm for silus. Silus appear to be more shiny and metallic than modestus.

They have been together for about 6 month I believe... (they are 13)
But if they get 8cm they're not fully grown yet.
My question is: Are they aggressive?
I'm only used to the carinotetraodons

Yes, very aggressive. They are stealth attackers, usually doing their damage at night. They shouldn't be kept with anything else IME, not even with conspecifics. Mine were fine together for a short while, then both started chewing each other up and had to be separated. Anything else they've been with, aside from otos, have been chewed up as well.
