do your pl*cos come out like that in the daytime, or with the lights on to eat all the time or are you using night vision or what? Seriously, that's amazing.

[glenny, posts: 329]

Yes Andy, they come out at daytime, they appear when i'm feeding them, they come out there hiding places(mostly wood) to get the pallets and tablets.

As always (just the first time i respond here ) Beautiful pictures of beutiful fish Glenn
Out here we see even more of your catfish
but the one that always cracks me up is the one of your "platvis" (excuse spelling) standing up against that plant

[andywoolloo, posts: 2744]

what fish is that in pic #30 down from the last bunch posted? are these pics from multiple tanks or one?

If you mean


Then I believe it's a freshwater flounder/sole. It's really a brackish/marine fish as far as I can tell, but they are spawning in freshwater rivers/estuaries, and then the fish will migrate to sea.

Flounder indeed, platvis is the Dutch name for the group, as tong is the correct translation of flounder.

besides, after following the link, more species of sweet water flounders might excist. I found in the middle of Uruguay, in the Rio Tacuarembó, near the village Ansina, flounders at 5 cm. The ocean was over 400 km away, as the R tacuarembo is a side rover of the R uruguay, wich waters into the Rio de la Plata. The R tacuarembó was very fast moving

A bit hard to consider this as the same species mentioned in Mats link

Bas, you are right, it is possible that it is a "freshwater only" species.

Fishbase has 9 species of the genus Trinectes, and I guess that there are further species in related genera - and of course there is a good possibility of undescribed species as well.

Thanks for the reactions!
The 2 Achirus achirus in the rio 240 tank are almost 3 years old and about 10 cm long, i don't think they'll grow any longer...
Catsandfish, you've found this great site! welcome!
Andy, i got 4 tanks, but most catfish are swimming in the rio 240 tank.
