Also, the fact that it was in the "what is my catfish" forum probably also meant I missed it.

Jools

Yes, It hasn't as I pretty much got lost with all the data in this forum. HH has recently cleared it out and I'll start wading through it. I wanted to clear out the "bugs" forum first and that has taken considerably more time than expected.

Jools

Fixed, although there is still a problem with the Shane's World page, but I will look into that in the other post.

This happens quite a lot, basically if I replace an image with an image that is older, my file transfer routine won't upload the "new" image as it's actually older than the one online. I just need to touch the replacement images and it'll all kick in. It's uploading as I write this, so thi...

Ah, two hours of teaching myself regular expression handling in php and we have a winner!

Sorted now (I briefly fixed it on broke the clog bbcode tag, that and the clog_link script all use the same array file).

Jools

That's it all back online.

Jools

What is it written in anyway?

Jools

The text was wrong and the article was one I had yet to republish to Shane's World. They are now there I think.

Jools

Try it again now and let me know.

I'll keep that topic up-to-date with my progress, I should have evertthing transferred over today or tomorrow.

This means that Shane's article on the identification of the giant moth cat isn't quite correct and may need to be either corrected or taken offline. What we _really_ need is either a CotM or maybe better yet a replacement article that deals with all moth cats pulling together a species by species ...

Gibbon is an ape, not a monkey. like the chimp, gorilla and urangutan. apes are baboons, meerkats, chapucins and the like :wink: I know that! If we're going to be picky, the joke was inclusive of all primates as I was apeing the H. sapiens that sold the fish in the first place! You're being way too...

You were told "gibbons" by monkeys. That's a common.

Anyone know the etymology of that name?

Jools

How, specifically, did you transfer them? Are these two the largest plecos you had - i.e. are the survivors smaller plecos?

Jools

We've seen this in other species of Hara too; specifically from the NE India trip.

Jools

Fixed in tonights upload.

Jools

No worries, I'm sure we all appreciate the concern.

I'm not sure I want a thread about all this in my little online refuge, but I guess it's the speak easy and I guess its good to talk. It's been a particuarly unsettling couple of days so far. My wife Clare works in Stirling and her commute up the M9 yesterday was affected by the protestors, her plac...

I'd go for "more carnivorous than herbivorous". Bear in mind we're talking about species that, in the main, are undescribed by science, their wider behaviour therefore doesn't have any studies on it beyond what aquarists observe.

Jools

maybe a fish with rasping pads for algae is in fact a specialised fish feeder that uses these pads to rasp away at dead fish (probably a considerable source of food in the deep water channels). And that's what Pseudacanthicus do; look at their teeth. this i would would consider to be prolific, but ...

OK, first thing here is that Peckoltia are omnivores, so they shouldn't be counted the same as Hypancistrus. Secondly, why would the fish have reduced dentition if it needed to rasp at algae etc? Thirdly, I don't remeber any analysis of H. zebra, but the description of H. inspector mentions gut anal...

Welcome to Planet, hope you like it here.

Jools

A misquote if ever I made one! What I MEANT to say was , sorry, I was being thick, my mind still has some of this fish elsewhere in taxonomic terms (for no good reason).

Jools

Actually just fixed another bug which will help a lot of broken links in the Cat-eLog, but the true number of species records is 1395...

Jools

I know about this one and am working on it. I'm in the process of adding a facility that can directly link a species record to any given article (Shane's World, CotM or Book Reviews) and will result in a better link on the Cat-eLog page to the relevant article. i.e. It used to say there was an artic...

Achim,

Did you ever find that photo?

Jools

This is now included in the sticky so I can archive this post.

Jools

Great ideas. I think the above has now been addressed by the sticky in the "what is my catfish" forum and by the top 100 species pages.

Jools

Heh, OK, this is now fixed.
