Amblycipitidae
= ( am blee sip IT id dee
)
This is a small family of only three
genera, Amblyceps, Liobagrus and Xiurenbagrus
which are very rarely imported for the aquarium
trade. These three genera are found in Southern Asia, China,
Taiwan and Japan. Resembles the loaches in their body shape
and also possess 4 pairs of barbels with the nasal barbels
being very prominent.
Not very easy to keep as they do prefer fast flowing water,
so would need this criteria in the aquarium to survive. Commonly
known as "Hillstream Catfishes" |
