Re: 80cm South American Hillstream

Hi Gert, Damn, I had the hope of the export of a Neoplecostominae species. Otherwise I think there is unfortunately no Neoplecostominae species permitted for export in Brazil. Is there any (fish) species with a southern brazilian distribution permitted for export? I don't think so. :YMTONGUE: so lon...

Re: Pseudohemiodon sp. `PERU information

Hi, There are some undescribed Pseudohemiodon species comming from Peru (not only sp. I and sp. II). But they all have nearly the same type of habitat in common. You can find them at the sandy shelves of white water streams around Iquitos. BTW: Rio Itaya isn't a clearwater stream at all. so long Nor...

Re: Pseudohemiodon apithanos breeding

Hi Niels,

The largest adolescent fry is about 8,5cm.
It is an offspring from august/september.
In some few weeks I will put them to the adults and hope for a female.

Hi Steve, I think this species will be the same as shown in the third picture of Pseudohemiodon sp`peru_i` . It differs to "Peru I" by colour pattern and body height. "Peru I" and "Peru II" are extremly flattened, this species not. Do you have some other pictures, speci...

It was the very only specimen of a group showing this short head.
This was caused by raising with bad conditions.

Hi Cathy,

Do you have to possibility to separate the fry after hatching for example in a nursery or raising tank?
It would be a pity if the fry would be food for Crenicichla & Co.

Re: how cold is too cold for Chaetostoma

Hi,

It depends on the species of Chaetostoma.
For species of the lower land (which are most common in trade) this temperature would be too cold.
In the opposite this temperature would be fine for the species of the mountain streams.

Re: Rhineloricaria sp.

Hi, I agree with Rupert, it could be H. eigenmanni 95% of the Hemiloricaria in the trade is this species This is a point I don't agree. Eventually it depends on the country, but H. eigenmanni isn't very common in the trade in germany. More often you'll find some undescribed species. so long Norman

Hi Cathy,

Next to FB, also here a Congratulation with crossed fingers!
It seems the flat stone with the eggs is directly streamed with a high oxygenic water current, isn't it?
This would match with all other breedings of Spatuloricaria I heared.

Okay, thanks! I'll ask Jools.

That should be a undescribed species (from Peru), so would call it Pseudohemiodon sp. "peru".
