Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?

Nice cats Neil.

BTW the male Tatia has settled down a bit with the aggression, and he's just eaten 5 earthworms out of my fingers.

Nice pictures - and fishes - indeed -).
The last picture looks like Entomocorus radiosus, but if so they have to be small. Are they?
The first picture is the same species as the one that is currently known as Ageneiosus cf atronasus and not - sorry to say - to my pictured specimen which I believe you were refering to?

I think they are the Auchenipterus he has in?

Ah, that makes sense. The large eyes, the caudal patterning and the lack of knowledge about its size misguided me.
You must be right, Steve.

Tatia strigata and C. axelrodi feeding on Daphnia


Spinipterus acsi

[Marc van Arc]

Oh, those strigata. How lovely they look. And good old Spinipterus as well, of course.

[Marc van Arc]

Meanwhile I've found a species to do the "gardening" in the tank. Although no auchenipterid, I'll introduce them here: Trachydoras steindachneri

[Marc van Arc]

Have a look at the very small mouth with feathered maxillary barbels.

Very nice! I've been after some of these for a while

Trachelyopterus galeatus

Oh, that poor pleco facing a hungry giant like that while eating a bit...

The Ageneiosus are in very good shape!

I'm not that experienced with Auchenipterids yet, but to my opinion the Augeneiosus from Bijn's two pictures are females.

Am I right ?

Looks to me that the lower one is a male and the upper a female...

I think you're right.

Cool pics Bijn.

Blimey! They are 'at it' again...

Not the clearest video, but as you can see, the female is now very ripe. Just need her to spawn

but what species are they?
kinda hard to see......

could be some kind of driftwood cat or Lio's or even yellowish striped ageneiosus.....

[Martin S, posts: 1745]

Just a few shots of these cats. Note the greeny-gold colour and dash-dash pattern.



They are feisty when the food goes in!





They have settled well and are quite greedy!

I'm guessing they are the same Richard showed off earlier in this thread.

can anyone share his or her experiences with Centromochlus heckelii?

I'm tempted to add this species to my Rio Tocantins tank.

there's a short vid in the Clog by Jools;

are they always like this or do they hide regular Driftwoodcat style once settled?

and are these like Hassar et al; afraid of other bigger fish or no?
