Relevant Information: |
Aquarium Care: This species is sensitive to temperature and oxygen levels, so the water should be on the cool side and well-oxygenated, preferably with a moderate to strong current. Additional tank decor can be in the form of large driftwood and/or rocks. Etymology: The genus name Tremeuchiloglanis: tr?ma, hole or opening, referring to larger gill opening compared with Chimarrichthys, Creteuchiloglanis and Pareuchiloglanis; Euchiloglanis (=Chimarrichthys), a generic name used for a group of Glyptosterninae. The specific name robusta: Latin for of oak or oaken and, by extension, hard, firm or solid (but often used by ichthyologists to mean fat or stout), presumably referring to its “elongate, stout” (translation) body shape. Remarks: Still found on some online searches as Pareuchiloglanis robusta or Sineuchiloglanis robusta (synonyms). |
