I visited Aqualife Leyland yesterday, and came away with a pair of Dicrossus warzeli.
I've had D.filamentosus from them previously, which have bred for me, so I thought I'd try another similar species.
Incidentally, they also had D.maculatus and had only just sold their last D.foirni, so if you want chequerboards in the UK it's a good place to call!
The new pair seem to have settled in to their tank nicely and are flirting already; they've both had a look inside one of the coconut caves too. They're in a 90L with 9 Otos for company.
These pics were taken when they had been in the tank only an hour; they've settled some more since then. I'm looking forward to seeing how they develop.
If anyone has experience of breeding D.warzeli that they could share, that would be great. Otherwise I'll treat them like D.filamentosus and see what happens
Cheers,
Paul
