Re: Corydoras leucomelas

Here's the distribution of Corydoras(ln9) leucomelas records on file at GBIF.org. Definitely in Colombia, and one record is along the Rio Irindiri, close to the Atabapo and Orinoco.

Cheers, Eric

Re: Crossoloricaria Bahuja

Hi Jeanne,

How big are these? Any more spawns? Are these in the same tank? Do you have sand and gravel in different parts of the tank?

Cheers,
Eric

Re: My pleco tank, inspired by a biotope

Leporacanthicus heterodon is really high up on my list of "big plecos" ... err, big in my concept... for future tank expansion.

God luck with them.

Re: Visited Shedd Aquarium yesterday

Great to see, thank you Eric so much! Our P. pictus haven't changed so much with age so far (~7yo). IIRC Shedd has a very large group of them with perhaps other Pimelodus mixed in. Sadly, I didn't get a picture or video of the Pimelodus. There were a lot. Maybe 15-25? I don't recall but the group w...

Visited Shedd Aquarium yesterday

Out on a family trip for a relative's birthday in Chicago. Yesterday was a trip to the Shedd Aquarium. They have a nice series of displays in their Amazon exhibit. Didn’t get pics of all the catfishes I saw, but got a few. There was also a nice tank with a school of Pimelodus . I expected P. pictus ...

Re: Meds

What kind of plecos? I usually treat with PraziPro, then tank the fish with healthy common Ancistrus and let the poop accumulate. I think they new fish get inoculated by the poop germs of the healthy fish.

Good luck,
Eric

Re: question regarding update in database

Sometimes they are done automatically by programs (bots) that are designed to scour the website and make updates when posted data doesn't match scientifically accepted data. Other times they are done manually by any of the admins here.
