[QUOTE="lailaq, post: 147278, member: 28958"] As the title says, I’m looking for information on the comparison and differences of three species in the genus Homoeomma (formerly, Euathlus). Everyone’s tiny fave, Homoeomma chilensis/H. sp. red—also seen described as Chilean dwarf flame/fire/sp. red—has the reputation of being curious, “chill”, and super docile, to the point of some calling their T is “sweet”. But those H. chilensis aren’t terribly available, so some (*ahem*, me, for instance) may feel compelled to check out some of the potentially more readily available others in the genus. I’m specifically asking for temperament/keeping differences or similarities between Euathlus/Homoeomma sp. yellow (now known as Homoemma orellanai) and sp. blue (Homoeomma sp. peruvianum), as compared to the coveted H. sp. red. I may be missing others that are even less common than these, but for the sake of brevity, I’m just asking about these two. Taking in consideration that individual T’s within various genus and species are absolutely unique in temperament and docility, would anyone say that the two others (sp. yellow and sp. blue) are similar to H. chilensis/sp. red? Thank you to anyone who can shed some light on this. Also, yeah, that switch from Euathlus to Homoeomma is a *****. I understand (sort of) why it was done, but still. Considering that Euathlus is still being used in some listings, it’s no wonder why this stuff can be super confusing—especially for us newbies! [/QUOTE]
