Anyone has experience with Girardinichthys multiradiatus?

Would like to know more about this rare goodeid.

Goodeid Study Group is your best source for Goodeid information. Link takes you directly to the page for Girardinichthys.

Important fact: It is a cold water species from mountain streams. I've not kept it myself, but a couple of good friends are very knowledgeable about them, having maintained populations for several years. Males can get aggressive, I'm told.

It is a COOL fish (sorry, couldn't help myself!)

I've kept a group in the past. Despite of there small size, a well sized tank is an optimum to them. For they can be very vivid. And also too many males stuck with another, a well sized tank would keep the harmony in the tank. And yes, it's a cold water species. But water temperatures up till 22°C - 23°C won't hurt them either. But in that case, you should offer them a colder period as well. In that period they can gain their energy back.
But I still keep another Girardinichthys species: Girardinichthys viviparus. This is also a small splitfin. They are similar in behaviour and maintenance.
