that body coloration looks spot on. i will do better photos. I guess in reality, it doesn't matter TOO much, except i have them set up (finally) to breed, and would love to know what i am sharing

they are not cataracts (eyes are clear)- that is overhead flash wiht no direct light source. They do have a blue appearance (albeit not cloudy in real life). I totally forgot I even HAD these fish, they haven't bred, and I hadn't really seen them much. I will snap better pics, and will absolutely lo...

Hey guys. I got this pair about 4 or 5 years ago from a hobbyist who had to relocate out of the country. All he told me is that they were from Peru.
Any guesses? Thanks

A couple years ago I got fish from Peru that look identical to you woodcat A and got an id of Centromochlus macracanthus. I gave them to Regina Spotti- perhaps she has an idea?

a few people pictures from me, as well

light weights

I didn't get to look around the room sales much, as I was trapped in my own. The highlight for me was hanging out with so many people that I rarely get to see- those from other countries, or even just opposite coasts. I get so much joy out of socializing and drinking beer with people I spend so much...

thanks for the kind words, TTA!

Also- happy to rebag or re-ox during the weekend as needed, for no charge- just stop on by

$3 each

Hey guys! I will be bringing some limited items to CatCon to sell during the spree on three. Manzanita driftwood- pieces appropriate for 30-300g tanks.The largest show pieces are phenomenal, and will be priced accordingly. Most of the pieces will be around $30, with the huge monster pieces being sig...

Hey Jools-
Will there be a PlanetXingu update at CatCon?

FINALLY got aroudn to doing my registration!

gotta love fish friends!

Hey Jools-
Might want to check with the folks from NJAS- I can add you to their facebook page, just let me know. I know there are many that are coming down for the convention. I can also reach out for you if you rather. Just holler

i cannot express how much the support means! Thanks guys

Aw shucks. You guys are embarrassing me lol

Thanks to PlanetCatfish for the sponsorship support. The following talks were covered: Julian Dignall l, "Suckers Around the World" Hans Evers , "Brochis" Birger Kamprath , "Synodontis" Its actually "friends of planet catfish" and my business, Invertebrates b...

Finally made my reservation as well!

all fixed, thanks jools!

yes, just occurs when I go to the home page

When i first come to the site, I get this weirdness:

I just have a group. The females are positively ROTUND. I will toss some leaf litter in there and see what happens. Once I have babies, those will definitely be for sale. If I don't have success by Spring, I may list the group so someone else can have a go, as they are pretty cool fish.

my memory is completely failing me. I blame getting an office to keep me organized, now I cannot find anything.

Hey guys! These Microglanis (from ansina, rio tacuarenbo) were collected for me in Uruguay. I lost the notebook that had what was thought to be their species name. Any help? Also, looks like they are beginning spawning behavior, any suggestions/tips on this? http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff170/...

They were ALL out of the same shipment from Colombia.
I can certainly take a ton of pictures, I have lots more but didn't want to oversaturate the post with too many. I will get the requested shots. Thank you!

There are also what may be? two types with three rows of scutes, otherwise, they look nearly identical but are much more slender, with a short, thin nose. Side view:

I did an import out of Colombia and decided to grab a bag of Farlowella. I knew when I ordered them that they would likely be a few species, and just wanted to share what came in, and get potential ID. I am not in a rush, as I bought these for my own personal tanks, but thought it might be interesti...

i didnt' do the traveling, but whatever you guys want.
Here is the Heptapterus and Microglanis

Thank you! I was pretty sure they were a new species, but am far from an ichthyologist. Shane Linder took a look at them when I got them from my buddy. I also got some pretty rad Microglanis (from ansina, rio tacuarenbo) and an eel cat (Heptapterus mustelinus, also from Gajo). I hope to photograph t...
