congrats marc! I look forward to seeing pics.

I have been trying to get mine to breed for awhile, but after some conditioning, all of my 'females' ended up developing odontodes.

I also have some issues caused by screen resolution (1600*1200). For me, the whole of the forum toolbar at the top is obscured by the planetcatfish toolbar. In order to access it I have to greatly increase the font size. kinda frustrating

Definitely better than TV!

For several years my roommates and I gave up on TV completely and set up a 55g tank instead. Instead of sitting in front of a TV being totally mindless, we would sit and look at the fish tank, talk, listen to radio programs etc. It was much better!

thanks for the info shane.
I am not too worried about the female being a 'he' anymore because I looked at my female Sturisoma and she has a small patch of odontodes too.

Kostas,
I do not know much about identifying Rineloricaria, but check out the photos of . Your fish shows the barred paired fins and ventral markings found in eigenmanni, so it could be that species. Whatever the fish turns out to be, it looks fat and happy!

I was just in Petsmart today (shame on me!), and I think they had the same fish as deb's, although they were a paler grey colour. They were mixed in with the normal 'thomsoni' type (every time I am at petsmart, these two species are mixed together). Anyway, one of the things I noticed was that the l...

Rineloricaria lanceolata bristle loss/regrowth

I bought three R. laceolata a few months ago. The male had huge growths of cheek and pectoral odontodes, as well as some on top of his head. He started to lose his bristles after awhile, perhaps because I was keeping the group in suboptimal conditions (high hardness and pH, poor choice in tankmates)...

I don't have much experience with breeding plecos, so I don't know if this is breeding behaviour. However, just in case it is, do you happen to have a proper sized cave in their tank?

Monophyletic: sharing a common ancestor. Regarding a definition of species: people have been debating what a species is for a long, long time, and there has never been any consensus.

male?

Awhile back, I posted a sexing question about some L260. For some of the fish people were unsure of the sex. This is one of them: I believe it to be a male because of the odontode growth and the marbled belly (although I know that isn't always that reliable). However, it is FAT! So, is this a spiny ...

Personally, I don't agree with Tullocks definition of evolution because it stresses only the development of new species. Evolution is any change in the genetic make-up of a population over time. This may not neccessarily result in the formation of new species. I like mats' definition of evolution, b...

Fish #1 and 3 definitely look like P. maccus to me as well. Fish #2 seems a bit different. It may be an atypical specimen of P. maccus or something different.

L260 breeding help

I have 5 L260 (2 male, 1 female, 2?)in a 55gallon tank, along with a trio of P. maccus and a small L81. I decided to try inducing the L260's to spawn so I started a rainy/dry cycle about 1.5 months ago. The TDS is now down to @90ppm (pH still almost 8.0 ), from a starting point of 350. Cicrulation i...

i'm not too sure what they would be, but if they were eggs, you should be able to see the developing embryos inside after 7 days. Also, most fish eggs I have seen are spherical rather than elongate like you describe.

I guess the ultimate test will be whether they hatch into something!
