Really nice fish there!!!

I was expecting some occasionally available catfishes like small bagrids

Which small bagrids do you usually encounter???

Thank you. :)

Hyalobagrus flavus available in small amount regularly, Pseudomystus heokhuii & Mystus bimaculatus available particularly during ...

Another pics from the shop yesterday

Ventral side of A. ischnosoma Fully acclimated G. platypogonides And also newcomers from the same locality

And this one... Listed as asian banjo (expecting Acrochordonichthys rugosus), actually more like Acrochordonichthys ischnosoma.

Recently one of my favorite fish shop sent me a notification message of two newly arrived catfishes from southern Sumatra. I was expecting some occasionally available catfishes like small bagrids & clarias, but then they sent photos & turned up to be better things.

This one listed as kekel ...

Thanks for your reply, Birger & Marc o:-)

@Marc, ummm approx 3 inches or maybe more (4inches). Here I got another pic. It's quietly hard to get the pic because that fish can't stay ^#(^

Is it insignis /wood cat? 8-|

Hi Ainun, as the most common wood cat have been sold currently in Indonesia i ...

I got newly offered corydoras came in as C. septentrionalis, but I've seen other seller labeled them as C. simulatus (pretty sure from the same batch).
Any ideas of what they really is? Thanks for the help.

Bred in Indo ! WOW !!

I am quite surprise as they are offered here for the very first time (I think).

Yes! They came more than a year ago from Colombia in small numbers & months later my friend sent me a photo of a juvenile. This is the first time i've seen a local bred woodcat quite popular ...

It's fisheri IMO. They've been bred regularly here.

What's their temperament and aggressiveness?

Little less timid compared to nemurus & don't hesitate to go out during daytime, but still very skittish when approached by people. I don't really have problem keeping the fish (about 14cm SL week ago) with 6.5cm agamyxis & 8cm carpintis in 90l ...

Thank you.
Haven't got any idea honestly. Some of my friends said have seen 30 to 35cm specimens, but it's only an estimate.

I have an 8cm specimen last year, sold as C. leiacanthus (they call it 'karai'). The seller cant told me where the fish comes from. Surviving for only 1 week & died by bacterial infection.


Too bad I only have this pict of him in my database, hope it can be useful.

Just got the right time to take a picture of one of my favorite hemibagrus. Usually they came along with nemurus & sold under that name.
-With H. nemurus (right)

Cheers ;)

Thanks Silurus! Have a hard time asking about the id & came up with no good answers. I forgot to tell that they possibly came from Musi, Sumatra along with shipment of the glass cat.

Found this one as contaminant of Ompok rhadinurus
Wondering since if it's just local variant of P. apogon or probably belongs to another species. Thanks for the help guys.
