Can this be a leucistic since its eyes are black?

Nice one there. Did I see a white fry? Any closed-up pics on that?

L375s are from the Rio Anapu. A friend’s pair I used for DNA testing maxed out at 12” and 14”.

Hi pseudasmart, do you have a photo of the L375. I'm curious on how do they look like and how different are they from L160.

Hi borbi, How are the Barrae different from this LDA97? We always believed that barrae are yellowish in coloration and they tend to turn dull in a confined dark environment. This is always very disappointing to observed by most hobbyist here.Their strong yellowish (golden) coloration is how we diffe...

Hi all, Im not sure if i am correct. We Asians especially categories them into four different species: L113, L234, M.cf barrae and "Azzura" - a termed by the Japs that refer to a black spiny M. species. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee138/hotchiliz/IMGP4911.jpg This is the Azzura that...

They definitely is a pair. But they seems to be frighten from the "visible bar" across the shoulder when you took them out for photography.

I hope you can breed them soon.

I think that it has a resemblance of a variant of spinosus, either a L160 or L96, which i have one currently that is almost spotless, but the body is more greenish yellow, rather than having an orange-tinted fins like yours. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee138/hotchiliz/IMG_0568.jpg I have got ...

Would you like to share with us, whats the topics that he has covered??

I do not have additional pics, especially from top view...Most of mine are in my breeding thread on spinosus.

You may consider getting them first and let see how it goes from there. Even if they are not a pair, their coloration still makes a wonderful and awesome fish to me.

Dragonball, both of them are male, by looking at the length of their pectoral and the size of their pelvic fins. The pectoral for females does not or just reached its pelvic fin, while male's tend to overshot the pelvic. This is how i identified my spinosus. I believe this must be your new purchase ...

I would say it's a female too....its pectoral length is short...

END OF THE STORY ! my female is dead within 24 hours (see the topic : I lost 3 L14... and now it comes to L25) I'm not even angry ! I'm just desperate :( You are not alone, my friend. I had a very disastrous day. My whole colony of fries and the parents are wipe out when i was away for 2 weeks. It ...

I have kept the fish and i am discussing with an ichthyopathologist in order to perform an autopsy....I will messure the fish and post some updated pics...i hope that i have another female in the group. From what we have discussed in hannover and by examing all my pseudas i think that your theory o...

http://www.aquazone.gr/images/HUSKY/Pseudacanthicus/L65_female_b.JPG Im sorry to hear about your loss, my friend. You will get better ones next time. Apparently, i hope you have got her "measurement" drawn because i feel that by knowing the proportion of its feature will help to determine...

Nice fishes. They look almost identical if not for the spottings on the tail. By the way, does L600 comes in 2 different variants?? Some i see having fine spots on the head, while the other i see like what you have. The Taiwanese publication, classified yours as LDA73 while those of the fine spots a...

The egg has picked up some dirt from the punctured eggs, so I will try to clean it with a soft paint brush. I carefully rubbed it between three fingers. Omg...these "techniques" is so unbelievable. Have you tried using a pipette to "clean" the egg by squirting water at the eggs?...

There do have many cases, especially for big size ones like megalancistrus and pseudacanthicus, when they are quite new to the tank environment or poor water quality issues. Mine is a open-top concept so that the temperature will be much cooler, just that, i have a all-round bracing on all the sides...

thanks for the confirmation....

I am somehow disappointed yet excited about these.
Nevertheless, they looks unique in some ways that catches my attention in the 1st place.

Would like to check out with you guys which species is this?? After the L-number days, i have somehow hook onto panaqolus. Now trying to diverse my attention on some smaller ones but somehow we dun have much variety over here in Singapore. So i happen to see them today and i thought they might be on...

Congrats....

Sandor, I think you are right, and I think the picture in P. spinosus article should be called "female". -- Mats Hi Mat, the picture in the article is definitely a Male, a fat and well build Male. For the picture of a gravid female, here is it: http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee138/hot...

Haavard, i am getting excited for you too.
Hope to hear some good news from you.

Hi there i just received my order of three Leporacanthicus. Their size is from 15 to 18cm and i think that i have both sexes (at least i hope). What do you think?

also from here:

http://l-welse.ig-bssw.org/thread-33.html

its states a more detailed locality of both L96 and L160.

Hi, I would like to highlight that the locality distribution of this species that is published is too general. Instead of being found in the Amazon itself, the more specific location would be from Cameta - Maraba, Rio Tocantin and also from Rio do Para (Portel) which also consist of Rio Anapu. I wou...

Well...this give me more "pressure" to continue with more updates, another ways to "increase" their survival egg counts.

Chris, thanks for the link.

OMG....that's really a pity to hear about this. I hope you can get over it. At least, you are one of the few that managed to breed scarlet these days. Many of us here are trying hard to breed them, but no success. I hope to see more of ur updates soon...Maybe another batch in 2 months time. Cheers M...

Updates @ Day 90 These fries have shown up some colour. Tails started to have a pale orange tint. From the start, i have always thinks that this batch should be from a L160 parents. In fact, these must be a L96 offspring. Here are some pics on them: http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee138/hotchili...

Hi Fact L97 from Rio Tapajos L65 from Rio Tocantins L282 from Venezuela (?) sp. "Alenquer" from Alenquer differently River =differently L-Number until Mr.Armbruster put al to Leporcanthicus or Peckoltia :lol: consider, L46 L400 L66 L333 L399 L... are from the same river and have an own L-...
