In 2011 I had the opportunity to keep 2 Adontosternarchus sp. :

Thanks but no thanks: It was Alex and not me who warned you.

Nice assets to your tank, Marc!
The picture I took is not good enough to post here btw.

They're really nice.
But here, even in a small tank, they proofed te be absolutely invisible during day- (normal for Auchenipterids) and nighttime as well.

Now Marc has a big group. That's good.
The demolition of their apartment will soon be forgotten and forgiven probably.
; )

Alestes longipinnis ( or Brycinus?)

Very nice Nymphea btw.

Picked up some "by catch" of Cheirodon simulans . Looks like 3 species. I need to pick up one Gnathocharax with black (!) pelvic fins when the hatched fish have recovered from their trip.

Interesting.
In what way were these delicate? The food? Or waterparameters?

That's Trochilocharax ornatus.
Pretty new and rare in the hobby. I've seen them once at Zoo Zajac, a shop in Germany and were nice but very tiny characins.

Although I'm not the topicstarter I would say yes!

2 Wildcaught Guianacara owroewefi for sale:

no characins, that's odd.

Checking the "new products"-list the other day I found out Ruinemans inc. ( the Netherlands and the USA)has
some parasitic catfish in stock.

77 Of them!
Caveat emptor.

Both fish have left the building.

The Ancistrus has just been picked up.
one Dormitator left. Wildcaught in French Guyana ( Marecages du Kaw)

I had the chance to observe these fish for the first time: They are fun!

Hi Marc,

I'm interested in taking over the Mergus volume 1.

Yes, they sure are unusual!

This topic needs some fresh fish.

Cyphocharax helleri

1 Left....

After a week there are about 10 left.
A lot of youngsters just didn't make it for one reason or another.

The remaining ones are getting darker and start to swim free. I provide them with paramecium and microwurms.

Hope they'll make it...

The largest male is 9,5 cm. What strikes me is the pattern with the stripes is slowly fading away. A bit similar to what happened with the white dots on Tatia intermedia. I hope I can provide the young with enough and propper food once they are free swimming. I have an infusionculture running, micro...

Well...The net was pretty usefull. For about ten minutes.
While fishing in a small junglestream my compagnon cut down a bracnh with his machete. The branch fell on the netpole and broke it right in half.

I collected some 45 T. strigata eggs two nights ago. I watched the female "laying" her eggs. Pretty interesting to witness that for the first time.

The eggs are now separated in a small container and I allready see some movement in them:

Does anyone have experiences with the genus, or even the family? I've had Denticetopsis for a while. Unfortunatly they died during an Ich-outbreak. I really liked them. They were in a tank with other catfish like Tatia, Centromochlus and Ituglanis. http://i39.tinypic.com/209rsja.jpg I never noticed...

Yes, that's the river.

Parotocinclus seems right. Can't figure out wich yet.
