Re: Sold as L106 but it's not?

They are Lithoxancistrus orinoco. I found one on Sunday and had my id confirmed by Nathan Lujan on my Facebook group.

It's not in Pseudancistrus now according to Nathan

Gagata sp.

These specimens (looking ropey) had only one dark body blotch under the dorsal fin rather than the normal connected blotches on cenia. Any views on ID?

No problem. In my opinion the lower jaw is definitely longer, compare it with the new species in the paper

Re: Trachycorystes trachycorystes breeding....?

Hi. To me your fish are T.trachycorystes. The lower jaw is longer, the inner mental barbel is long and the skin over the cranium is not thick.

Re: Trachycorystes trachycorystes breeding....?

They look like Trachycorystes to me. Too long in the body for Liosimodoras in my opinion plus from the 3rd photo it looks like it has 8 branched ventral fin rays

Re: Trachycorystes trachycorystes breeding....?

It's difficult for me to see because Im viewing this on my phone but you can tell trachycorystes apart from liosomadoras by the former having 8 branched pelvic fin rays and the posterior edge of the dorsal fin spine smooth

Re: Unknown Microglanis

If you want to tie them in with aquarium identifications then they are M. iheringi. Whether the fish in the hobby are the true iheringi is yet to be resolved, but for your purposes you can call them iheringi.

A fishkeeper brought them in and insisted he got them from wild. There was a group of large grandiops and 2 of these mixed in. The smaller one did have the black triangles in the fins.
