In Reply to: rufodorsata and bimaculata info.... posted by Kestrel on November 19, 2002 at 01:40:12:
:just wondering what the ideal temp/humidity and general enviroment is best for these guys.. getting a small group of both species in a bit and just am looking for a little info.. i'm assuming they require a lower temp, like the beauties, with a moderate humidity requirement... also, how rare are rufodorsatas? so far i've only seen 2 sites from people who have experiance with them..
I have limited experience with Rufos. I kept mine at moderate temps, a bit lower than for say corns. Keep a large clean bowl of water for them. Mine loved fresh water. They may only feed on fish if fresh imports. Because of the diet preference of WCs (and most if not all are WCs), I would seriously suggest a trip to the vet and purging them of internal parasites if they have them. They are known to succumb to parasites quickly in captivity and usually have a fairly high mortality rate because of this. Thats another reason they are not commonly kept.
Good luck!!
