I don't think that it is a Peckoltia vittata, allthough the P. vittata can have several different patterns, I think it's not a P. vittata.

But it is very hard to ID, probably because he is a little stressed-out. Maybe it is an L265??

Thanks Marc van Arc for giving the suggestion. Next time when I come to LFS I'll ask it. I like those catfishes very much, so I hope to get more :D

I always thought that Cory's didn't tolerate salt in the water (why should they, there is no salt in there natural habitat). But I heard from a forummember that he uses salt in his tank all the time and it doesn't seem to harm them. So I think that most species do tolerate salt. However I'm not goin...

My Corydoras panda (which only spawn in something like a mop) have actually spawned once in Javamoss. But they liked the algues better, I think... because I found some eggs in them. But I think you have the best results using a actual mop ;)

Actually, the first thing I think of reading your post is oxygen. Are you sure that your water contains enough oxygen? I lost a L264 because the Lemna minor grew so fast, that the surface was completely covered with it. Because of that the water couldnt absorp any oxgen. You can try to put the strea...

Ok, thanks everybody. I thought it might be the P. vittata for a while now. Too bad, because I think the L168 is more beautiful, but I doubt if the L168 is more active than the P. vittata (because this one is very active, even when the lights are on).

Well I registered myself, that's a bit easier :)... The main reason why I doubt that it might be a L168 are the eyes. As you can see, my catfish has a little thing in his pupil of the eyes, which isn't visible on pictures of L152 or L168, but the P. vittata does have this thing. And another thing is...
