@rockinchic101 C. chaca and bankanensis are not the same species. C. chaca is from India and bankanensis is from Indonesia. Chaca generally do not move about during the day, they bury in sand - which is necessary for them to be happy.
No it´s not a sardine. But they look almost the same. I caught a lot of these at home and put them in my freezer. It worked great. I could feed the fish all winter and the Chace Chaca seemed to like them.
Unneeded species after the genus was changed. And yours seems apathetic, do you have have 0 nitrates? Is your pH low enough?

Hi,
Are you sure that's a C. chaca? I think it may be a C. bankanensis form looking at the shape of the head. It's hard to tell on the video though.

I have a question due the fact I too have this fish. Is that a sardine you are feeding him? Is the one that is frozen or from a tin?

Do you know what kind of fish they are?
Mikilane 2 years ago
They live in numbers and are very often used as bait when catching larger fish.
The latin name is: Alburnus alburnus
Try and Google it to find more information.
Good luck with your Chaca Chaca!!!
