New Nerites

 Hello! Welcome to this post. I just had some new Nerite snail species arrive, and nerites are one of the most popular snail families in the aquarium hobby, because of their stunning colours, many species, and they cannot breed in freshwater.

So today, I got two new.. fairly common species in the hobby.

These are Neritina natalensis, the zebra nerite. They are a pretty large sized nerite with amazing black stripes on a yellow background.



Neritina natalensis

Aren't they pretty? Next up is a very interesting looking one.

Meet Clithon corona. They are found in Southeast Asia in small, high-flow streams. They have pretty interesting shells with horns which gives them the common name Horned Nerite.


The horned ones as you can see are the smaller, tannish-green ones. 

Anyway, that's all for this post. Thank you once again for reading and I'll see you in the next one.
Goodbye!

New Roaches

Image
 Hello everyone. Today I had just received a package containing some really cool roach species. All three species are locally sourced by the seller, occuring in South Sumatra.  This species is more of a burrower and a more secretive species, and was said to mimic beetles. This is Ergaula cf. pilosa, a larger species of Ergaula said to reach about 3-4cm in length.  Ergaula cf. pilosa cup  This was the cup I received them in, I got around 20-ish nymphs and a single adult male which could have matured in shipping or with the seller. I did find a few pretty large female nymphs, so I'm expecting to find some adult females popping out soon, and hopefully producing more nymphs. Ergaula cf. pilosa enclosure I am keeping them in this 35x26x18 (cm) storage tub with around 5cm of substrate (top soil) with some leaf litter, sphagnum, and locally sourced bark. Ergaula cf. pilosa possibly female nymph Next is also a mimic, but this time a batesian mimic. (Mimicking a more harmful ...

Panesthia Stuff and A New Addition

Image
 Hello, welcome to another post. I apologize for my absence from posting, got some work or study to do lately. But anyway, I've got some great news with my Panesthia angustipennis. Not sure if I've ever showed them in my posts but I do have a small colony. Panesthia angustipennis angustipennis  They've actually been very easy to breed, I just keep them humid, feed them a lot of protein and food, and boom Panesthia angustipennis angustipennis nymphs I've actually had 2 batches, with the second one already in around I2 or I3. And yeah, I've found around 20 or 30 little nymphs scurrying in the substrate, although the adults are slowly dying out from old age, I'm not too concerned due to the amount of nymphs. Hopefully I can raise them well (which seems to be pretty easy so far). Moving on, I had a new addition to the collection. Armadillidium corcyraeum  A species I've been wanting to keep for a while now, and I saw them for sale on a huge discount so I thought...

Adult Harlequins!

Image
 Hello everyone. Welcome to another post In this post I'd like to give an update on my harlequin roaches (Neostylopyga rhombifolia) The last time I gave an update was a few posts ago, this post And since May, the harlequins have grown a lot! August September In September most of them were still in the small orange stage, but some were already an instar away from maturing. October (The time I posted this) Here's a pretty low quality phone photo of the few adults that have just matured a few days ago. You can tell by the vestigial wings that they have matured, and as shown in the 2nd picture there are still some individuals in the small orange stage. And that's pretty much all the updates for now, thanks for reading and goodbye 👋
