Callichthyidae ID?

Hi there... A friend caught a lot of these babies in a small tributary in Pará State, near Belém. It looks like Megalechis thoracata to me, what do you think? http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c191/Fire187/Catfish.jpg They are tiny, BTW... The bigger ones are half an inch long. :mrgreen: Best regard...

Re: Aspidoras ID...

You're probably right... Since A. carvalhoi comes from Guaramiranga and region (high, colder, relictual rainforest area). :roll: Is there any place we could find a diagnosis on this species? I saw the thumbnail of the A. rochai pic on CorydorasWorld (not a member there), and it seems very close to t...

Aspidoras ID...

Long time no see... :beardy:

What do you think of this Aspidoras? Comes from NE Brazil, more specifically from the middle of Ceará State, far from Crato. I'm thinking on A. carvalhoi, but not sure. Any thougths? :mrgreen:

Thanks for the help, guys... The guy who caught it said its colors were identical to these of Tatia simplex, BTW. :mrgreen:

Still don't know exactly what it is, but we have fewer options now. :P

Hi all.

A friend of mine got this specimen in Southeast Brasil, São Paulo State... Possibly a Rhamdia sp., but clearly Heptapteridae. Any chance of IDing it? :D

Awesome fishes... A bit crowded IMHO, but still impressive. 8) Just a couple suggestions... I think some substrate would make the whole tank and the fishes look better, and some extra hiding spots are not a bad idea. :roll: Oh, I'd put some caves for the L-24 plecos to hide and maybe breed. :P Best ...

Henrique, Nice find, IMHO... Looks like a Parotocinclus . Surely it's not a juvie Hypostomus or Rineloricaria , both are different and this fish looks more adult than a fry... That leads me to a small-sized species, and its look suggests Parotocinclus . It looks almost identical to P. aripuanensis t...

A picture of the belly colouration might also help , but I still think we're going to struggle becuase, as Daniel says, we need to know where it came from (so don't haul it out of the tank just for that).

I really think some info on the collecting site could help us here... Especially when we realize that G. parnaibae is a not-so-common species in the hobby. Both specimens I had, including the one pictured now in cat e-log, were wild-caught in the Parnaíba River Basin.

The poster isn't the same - read the posts - and the last post from Daniel shows a different fish for no apparent reason? I think Daniels is showing a pic of what generally is referred to as a "Leopard pl*co" and how it's different from the pic robby is showing. Yes... That's the reason. ...

Robby, I really think it's a nicely patterned "normal pleco" (well, they're not the normal around here, that is Hypostomus plecostomus/ H. punctatus ). Here's a not-so-good pic of my Pseudacanthicus leopardus "Roraima", LDA-07: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y6/DanielMachado/Pe...
