Hello
I received fishes labelled S. tenuirostre but the underneath part of the short snout is black like for S. nigrirostrum. How can I tell apart these 2 species without douibts ?

Thanks in adavanc for those who will give enlightening answers

Charly

Hello

Are L121 and L305 both Peckoltia braueri or are they 2 different species ?

Thanks for the help

Thanks for your interesting answers. C102 seems to be very close. But Frank's gomezi too...
Is there some specific traits to tell these two apart ?

For Frank , yes from Peru but with no more details

Can someone ID this Corydoras species ?





Thanks for your help !!

I've taken tens of shots of these guys. They were literally shots in the dark, for they are quite elusive. The quality of the pictures is thus poor, but it's merely to show that these are NOT Trachycorystes (which is a relief). Get the picture? :wink:

Thanks all for your detailed answers

First congratulations !!

Your tank set up is magnificent.

I have a question dealing with the way you cut the stones.
Do you use water or oil to cool the cutting wheel when using it ? Which kind of cutting wheel do you use? And how long does it take to cut a medium sized stone ?

Charly

This is exactly why I ask ....

Hello

Any idea about the ID of this fish labelled Peckoltia sp Urucara

This last one (the 2 pictures are from the same fish) looks quite similar to L236 or what it's suppose to be.

What's the expert's ...

Hello

I obtained similar looking fishes labelled Hypancistrus L333 Porto de Moz and they are quite variable. It's also my feeling that L236 might be a variant of L333

Most of the fishes look exactly like yours and some show variations. Here are some of these variants.

Charming post Knifegill !!

Instead of taking care of aquarium fishes suggest to your girlfriend that your new hobby could be expensive sportscar driving, watching football games every night while drinking beer or even better chasing girls in nightclubs every saturday night. I guarantee she will ...

No unfortunately

Thanks !!

L102 clearly fits better this fish than L136

Hello,

I have interest in the above mentionned paper ? Can someone provide the full text version ?

Semper Pisces

Charly

Thanks Ralph for your clear explanations.

Thanks Raph.

Which diagnosis features leads you to think this is F. oxyrhyncha ??

Merci d'avance.

Charly

Unfortunately I do not have more pictures. This species is rather small around 2-2.5 cm TL

Thanks for your contribution

Hello Marc

Tatia aulopygia is described from Rio Guapore drainage. Do you think this species could have such a wide distribution range ??

T. aulopygia sometimes shows a spotted patern I've never sen in the Rio Ngero species. Perhaps this is not significant ....

What do you think ?

Charly

Obrigado Yann !!

I don't have any in my aquariums.. The pattern of this specimen was puzzling me .

Atenciosamente

Charly

Thanks again for your answer Raph.

I still have one specimen from French Guyana in my aquariums. I'll take a picture of it for comparison.

Charly

Hello Ralph.

Thanks for your precise answer.

For my information, how did you diagnose this fish as belonging to the genera Pseudoloricaria ?

There is a recent article in Datz with pictures from Ingo Seidel showing a fish labelled Ps. laeviuscula but which looked rather different.
