Auchenipterichthys coracoideus spawned again. It's been a long time since I've had any of these. I don't think these are viable, but it's nice to discover the parents are resuming spawning. Hopefully more eggs follow these.

UPDATE on Amblydoras nauticus young: One video, all three age cohorts. FWIW, there are a lot more babies hiding in the leaf litter in that 5 gallon tank than are seen in the video. You may recall that I removed the now-2-month-old fish a while back to get video. At the time I counted 17 fry after se...

Hi Jools, Today I attempted to add the new Diplomystes to the CLOG, but I received this error message when clicking the " Add recently or undescribed species" link in the Admin menu: Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function select_family(), 2 passed in /home/...

Really nice!

That's beautiful!

Thanks for this input. So that all the old links in the forum don't become bad, it seems to me that adding it in two ways is appropriate: Visible as Rio Atabapo Loricaria in the common names. Hidden as Loricaria sp`Rio_Atabapo` in the list of synonyms. By doing it this way, all the old CLOG tags ([ ...

Follow up question. What is the PCF procedure for the old name (sp`Rio Atabapo`)? Do we preserve that by adding it as a common name? or something else (dump it all together? Doesn't seem wise).

Thanks,
Eric

Thank you sir!

Hi Jools, Today I was going to fix an error in the CLOGs, wherein Loricaria sp`Rio Atabapo` would get renamed to conform with its recently described new name, Loricaria nimairaco ; as background, when the new species name was released, I didn't realize it was sp. Rio Atabapo, so I created a new CLOG...

Holy cow!

That's really cool. Congratulations! I've read that the beautiful color patterns don't fix well genetically, but it's nice to see your baby with such a strikingly nice pattern. As far as raising hatchlings, it's not too difficult but disasters do still occur. I'd leave them in their hatching contain...

Hi Jools, Today I was updating occurences in the CLOG pages, and I obtained this error message: [phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file /home/webcat/planetcatfish.com/admin/classes/manage_occurrences.php on line 92: Undefined variable $existing_occurrences [phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/includ...

Thanks HH!

Thanks bekateen, I assume these are smaller bristlenose species? My LFS recommended only a Britlenose or Clown and from ym research on how large they typically get I would agree those are my best bets here. I also read about the rubbernose as not getting too large, and love the idea they eat black ...

I agree with Darrel. The tank size is really small for most plecos. I mean, you could consider Otocinclus , but in my experience a 10 gallon tank is already remarkably vulnerable to water chemistry swings and pollutants, so a 9 gallon tank would be more delicate. Also, I'm not sure if otos would go ...

This is really cool. I hope they do well in the new tank. I'm always stressed about moving fry from one place to another if I haven't done it before. Then when it works, I'm shocked.

Cheers, Eric

Congratulations!

On Sept 21, I moved the "17" babies (I recounted and found it was 19!) to a separate tank and I moved the new hatchlings to the 5 gallon rearing tank. I'd already started losing babies even after 3 days in the breeder ring, but I think I have a good number of survivors still. I can't state...

Hi Jools, I just added data to the Amblydoras nauticus BLOG. I can see that the data and the photo uploads saved properly, but while working on the edit page I had this error message: [phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file /home/webcat/planetcatfish.com/common/my_blog.php on line 116: Undefined variable...

An easy one to fix, hoorah! This error happens when displaying an image of a species that doesn't have/belong in a subfamily. Fixed now. Cheers, Jools There are a number of other genera in the CLOG which are not properly assigned to subfamilies. I looked up each genus to find its current taxonomic ...

Thanks!

Hi Jools, I received this error message today while visiting images in the CLOG, when clicking on new image photo thumbnails on the PCF home page.
