I'm honor. Please go ahead

Yeah... I thought so too...
It is not so easy when no other resources are found to compare with. I hate to think that this will be a 1 off specimen found.

Thanks guys.

I've found this very similar picture. What do you guys think?

Hi Everyone. I haven't post here in a few years but I hope some of you remember me. Haakon things it could be Pseudacanthicus sp Hystrix but I haven't seen anything quite like it ever but again I don't spend much time online like some of you. Any comments will be great privately or the forum -------...

I have 3 fry which at last spotting were over and inch TL at least. This past year has been a challenge and many fish were lost, including fry due to an inability to do the needed regular maint. on tanks. I only see these fry from on my back under the tank looking up through the bottom glass. Sorry...

Asia calls them "Red Dragon" L91

Although some of them seems to be small. I've seen this pattern on the L173b Glaser distributes or the none existent L287 that we have seen in the past. There are couple of things I've noticed: 1. On the first picture the big male seems to be different than the rest of the plecos ( I will not purcha...

Great work Ian. CW078 it is.

Great work Ian CW079 it is.

I think we lost him.

The fish in this thread are Hypancistrus, not Micracanthicus. I have spent a lot of time looking into the issue of L280 and the confusion about which genus this number is attached to. L280 is a number often misused for a small Hypancistrus form that looks a lot like L201, but L201 are bigger. Aqualo...

thanks for the information, I have updated this at http://www.l-welse.com. My Pleasure and thanks for keeping updated one of my very favorite sites such as http://www.l-Welse.com The fishermen in Iquitos that came in with those beauties said to me "Rio Cruzeiro" but as these corys were no...

how do you KNOW that the indicated collection point is wrong ? NOT correct is was part of the truth. The exact collection point is Rio Jurua, approx 4 hours up from Cruzeiro do Sul. Have you caught some by yourself ? I wish, I could go catching fish but with the business and the second job is impos...

Commend you on an excellent post, you could have easily went with the above statement and left it at that but went the extra with an explanation and pictures.

Helps for all of us.

I was just trying to help! Thanks for your comment.

It is not a L174 Hypancistrus. They have smaller eyes, the tail is different and much bigger dots in their bodies. I have attached some pictures for your consideration. Most of the L66 normally have smaller dots, than L400 and broken lines, very close to each other could also be a good indicator. Th...

I think you're right. I think females are more triangle shape.

Congratulations. L96 is one of my very favorite Pseudacanthicus. Many years ago I was trying to get a pair for my collection from a friend in the UK but I could never bring them because he did not have the necessary permits and the time to get them. I believe L96 are a totally different specie then ...

I found this.

However the collection point is NOT correct. I will measure them for you.

They were collected in the Mato Grosso river, not in Tapajos. Please see map
Paranaíba - Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

I couldn't see a picture of the C151 in the catalog

Thanks Ian.

I have added some more pictures. Also some Long nose that came in the group.

Thanks Ian.
I will work on this right away for you.

I see a male and female also.
Head shape gives it away.

Hypancistrus L400

Interesting. Could you kindly send me some pictures to unungy@gmail.com?

Haakon and I are working on getting a shipment of these guys from their collection point.

Thanks Kim. I've checked C91 as also another friend (Larry Vires) had pointed out to the same number and we have a match.
