Indeed true. "Contaminant" is another word used in this context, and a better fit than "bycatch" since the fish wouldn't have been caught together.

Re: ID please? By catch with glass catfish
Okay. That was my other thought, but from the few pictures we have I thought it might be too robust.
I need to look up the different species in scientific papers to get more info on them. I know almost nothing about this group
Thanks HH.

Re: ID please? By catch with glass catfish
It's a Pareutropius of some kind. Thanks. That was my idea too. It's so long and slender I was thinking not Pareutropius buffei and not Pareutropius debauwi , although there is a faint lower stripe like debauwi has. I was also looking at Pareutropius longifilis , but I don't know. The store has onl...

Re: Microglanis lucenai new species from the Rio Mampituba basin, Brazil and Microglanis cibelae is revalidated
Question to my taxonomist friends:
With this paper published, does the revalidation of Microglanis cibelae become official? Or do additional steps need to occur before the revalidation is legitimate?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Thanks for update.
To be honest, I like the old stars for type localities, but we work with what we have, so a color difference works too.

Re: Is it worth adding an extra category to the "Further spawns" in BLOGs?
I was hesitant to include them, but did because if the fish are growing, they may have been moved to a bigger tank.
My guess is that in most cases they won't have been moved so I'm fine omitting that.

Re: Is it worth adding an extra category to the "Further spawns" in BLOGs?
Let me think about this. Some data, such days to hatching, max length at various ages, etc., will be tied together based on feeding, crowding and temperature parameters with each each spawn. Those don't intrinsically represent reproducible data but might be left as a single number such as (what is t...

Is it worth adding an extra category to the "Further spawns" in BLOGs?
Hi Jools, As I record data for repeat spawns, one thing that changes (usually growing or stabilizing at a higher number after initial spawns) is the egg count. Would it be worth or practical to add egg count/clutch size to the Further spawns category? I've prepared a graphic for what it might look l...

About 1/4 of the eggs and fry washed out from multiple rinses through the terra cotta pot. Reflecting back on the last spawn being only 130 or so eggs...

Re: Perpetually soft water... a blessing or a curse?
My L397 breed year round, but they are definitely seasonal in terms of the intensity of breeding. I get more spawns in mid to late summer than I do from October - March.
