Phenacogaster tegatus

Any pictures of a real live K. minor then?

Very easy. Condition on live and frozen foods. Keep the tank warm (26 - 28 C). Weekly water changes of 50%. My water is very soft and the pH is about 6. They spawn on the glass and don't eat their eggs. Leave the eggs in the main tank to hatch and provide a fry shelter in the main tank for the fry t...

I'm not sure you have H. parva. They are known for laying eggs in the open rather than in a cave or tunnel. Also I don't see the characterictic interorbital gap on your fish.

I agree with the ID above and would also like to say well done on maintaining your obviously healthy animal for so many years.

This is a male bilineatus And this is a female

I've seen this a few times. A big water change sees it off. I would get rid of the algae eater and start changing water weekly rather than monthly. Also if you are feeding white/Grindal worms then cut that back a bit. I wouldn't put any medication in the tank.

I see most of my corys are actually brochis

I don't think the common name for this species is correct.

All are

Corydoras trilineatus

The small species (hastatus etc.) will spawn from around 6 months. Other than that 9 - 12 months seems to be typical with a few species keeping you waiting much longer.

Most likely the fish described on this website and many others as and in other places as a variety of .

Nothing in my inbox.

I think now Hara maesotensis = Hara filamentosa?

Still broke here.
Edit to add - search by popularity or click on an author's name to see the error.

Anything? I have C. hastatus and C. weitzmani if that's your bag.

The always readable Jerry Coyne has written his thoughts on the use of mtDNA versus nDNA when constructing family trees. He's discussing a paper on Polar bears which I freely admit are not catfish. However I thought it was a good piece and worth drawing to the attention of forum members. Read it here

These ones are always tricky.
We can rule out - brevi (brief or short), rostrum (snout or nose). Your fish all have a longish snout.
2nd & 3rd do seem to be .
The others I'm not sure - perhaps

Pygmaeus will breed rather easily in my experience and a colony can be maintained without much effort in a tank as small as 18". Habrosus require a little more work but I would still class them as easy. I wouldn't feed white worm to pygmaeus - it's too big for them. Small amounts might be okay ...

Would be good if you could tag images? It would be good, and I've talked about it before but I'm darned if I can find where. My views were to be able to add tags like "spotted", "red" or "suckermouth" which would then aid species ID. What were you thinking about? Cheer...

Would be good if you could tag images?

Well it's a model. A model of what however ...

A nice shoal of

Brochis splendens

Does anyone have any first hand experience with spawning either the threadfin or blue eye rainbow? Also, does anyone have any experience with breeding the celestial pearl danio? Keep in mind, this will be a single aquarium project...the fry will be raised with their parents. Iriatherina werneri are...

A little livebearer perhaps? The small danios and rasboras are becoming more available now too.

Neoheterandria elegans Sundadanio axelrodi

You're a database guy Jools, you know data should be normalised. The L number is the unique identifier and must never change. All other data, origin, size etc. can and do change so must be kept separate. Some kind of on line catalogue would do the trick.

As it should. A lovely wee fish and the fry are very cute.

Breeding record now displaying fine thanks.

The image of the eggs shows twice on my spawning record of A. pauciradiatus.

Mats is correct of course.
is a described species and as far as I know has never had a C number.
C79, 82 & 83 are all colour forms of .
"Bonita" is . Never heard of "altum"
