Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?

They're not tatia you Doyle.

They are from the river piamotes and informed opinion says they are glanidium

Haha! OK doyle. How do you tell a Tatia from a Glanidium (no one help him out!) lol

[wrasse, posts: 729]

Bigger longer fish.
Longer upper lobe - tail.
It's not a T Dunni Steven

Mmmm. Not sure that's the scientific way of differentiating them lol. OK, I'm sure we will find out soon enough

[Marc van Arc]

Something like this?

[wrasse, posts: 729]

That's exacty how they look Marc, gold and brown but with more striped pattern.
However Steve (the dim one may be right... Ingo also reckons they are a tatia

[Marc van Arc]

I take it this one was freshly caught, hence the abundant yellow glow (which sadly disappears most of the time once kept in a tank); that is most likely the reason the patterning is less visible in this picture.

Nice fish; this one was once listed as Tatia (Tayta) sp. tijera.


On a side note: does the "Doyle" refer to Arthur Conan and are you thus calling Steve a barbarian?

According to the map, this shop is sort of next door to Oliver Frank......

Steve and I have been winding each other up. He introduced me to this Yorkshire term a while back... Using it on me / it means idiot!
I had to use it on him at some point

This list is the same as the list from Glaser.

Does this mean they (Diskusmann) don't have (all) these fish in stock, but are able to obtain them (from Glaser)?
Any input about this shop from our German friends (Borbi, Acanthicus) would be much appreciated.

[kruseman, posts: 275]

As a matter of fact I called them yesterday about the list.
The phone was bussy but a few hours later the shopowner called me back. ( ! )
She told me that they not only stock shops in Germany and Holland but also sell and send fish to
private persons. 40 Euros per box.

[Marc van Arc]

That could be a very interesting option!
On the minus side you won't be able to see the shop, but on the plus side you don't have to sit in the car the whole day and with the current petrol prices 40 euros a box is a give away, sort of. Even more when you're able to share that cost.

Are you thinking of something, Arjan?

PS: you did make clear that a possible delivery/order has to cross the border?

[kruseman, posts: 275]

Yes: I told her I am from "die Niederlande".
(My poor German gave it away as well.)

Tomorrow there will be a new list, she told me. Maybe there will be some new catfish and/or characins on there.

The reason I called was sheer curiosity about the number and price of Tetranematichthys.
I had to send an e-mail, which I did, and they would check it today.
Not that Tetranematichthys will be an option overhere, though. Me thinks

If you want to get rid of the Loreto tetras and the small Guianacaras without having to catch them yourself it is .

Seriously, if they are 10-12 cms and they are able to sex them, I'd like to give them another try. So pls fill me in on any news, either by phone or by mail.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Martin

Yes they are. The pic posted by Marc resembles these fish very much. They are lovely.

Marc, I'm cultured compared to wrasse/Richard!
