I tried to get the baby out when I first saw its body, but the body drifted off into the tank and I lost it for a few hours. However, a few minutes ago I was able to find and remove the dead baby. Here it is. 15mm SL. This tank has been set up for only 3 months (since 15 June). How old is this baby?...

Hi Jools, Today I added two spawn dates to my BLOG for Microglanis aff_iheringi . I received this error message: [phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file /home/webcat/planetcatfish.com/common/includes/my_blog_save.php on line 349: Undefined variable $post_superglobal [phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file /ho...

Long time since I updated here. Good news and bad, as can be seen in this video. In June, I moved four Microglanis aff_iheringi (variant 3) to my new 33 gallon long waterfall tank with kinon (described HERE ). I purchased the fish at Finspiration Aquatics in Cincinnati, OH after speaking at the Grea...

Again:

Hi philipcraigt,

Welcome to PlanetCatfish.

I've been keeping a dozen or so Microsynodontis in a 29 gallon species tank for several years now. They don't school together, but they often hide together, so if you can get more, I would recommend it.

Cheers,
Eric

Thanks!

Thanks Viktor. In this case, we solve one problem (to figure out what IS C. phantasia) only to leave unresolved the original question... what the heck are these brown & black Cetopsorhamdia (the original question)? I've reassigned them for now as Cetopsorhamdia sp`Peru_2` . I don't know what to ...

The biggest issue I have had with Ancistrus fry is that a few dominant fry will establish themselves and get the most food. This results in a brood with 4-5 fast growing fry while their brothers and sisters show little growth. To keep growth equal among the group it's necessary to occasionally remo...

The second fish seems to resemble Cetopsorhamdia phantasia , as illustrated in Fishes from the lower Urubamba river (22MB PDF, page 437). The current link to this paper (Fishes of the lower Urubamba) is here: https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/18237/list/18/. This fish is not true Cetopsorhamdia...

Thanks. To be clear, the broken display is what I now get for all BODs when I click EDIT, not just for Duc My.

Cheers,
Eric

Hi Jools, I noticed that with the updates to Occurrence mapping, a weird phenomenon now occurs. All Bodies of Water (BODs) without lat/long coordinates recorded are now getting plotted as 0.0000, 0.0000 on occurrence maps (vs. not plotted at all on the old maps prior to recent updates in the code he...

Hi Casscats,

I too think it's a member of the genus , but since so many of those are spotted fish, without having any collection information or detailed clear photos to show discriminating traits better, I wouldn't even want to dare offering a guess.

Cheers,
Eric

I wish. I have to miss this one due to conflicting travel schedules.

Have fun,
Eric

These are all added now.

These old names need to be added as synonyms of Hypostomus pusarum, and keepers, pics, etc., moved accordingly, then the old pages need to be overwritten: Hypostomus carvalhoi synonym of Hypostomus pusarum . Hypostomus jaguribensis synonym of Hypostomus pusarum Hypostomus nudiventris synonym of Hyp...

These also need to be added with CLOG pages (even though I've already put CLOG tags on them, the pages don't yet exist) : Trichomycterus galvisi . Trichomycterus simacotaensis . Trichomycterus macareguaensis . Trichomycterus choroloensis . Trichomycterus santuarioensis . Rhadinoloricaria andaki . L...

Cambeva damnata

also needs to be added.

Cambeva damnata done

Here's better photos. The thin one (first photo) looks like Spinipterus moijiri to me. The fatter fish (second and third photos) IDK. Maybe a poorly colored S. moijiri? Or is that S. acsi?

Just tried it. Sorry to say I'm still getting the same error message.

Cheers,
Eric

Found these in one of the wet lab tanks at ARCOF. I think it's two females maybe in the genus Spinipterus. Maybe ? I've had before and these look different to me, but it might be that too. They are sold around here.

Hi Jools,

Now that the rename species function works, I just attempted to move data from an invalid clog page to a valid page. I received this error message:
