Re: Corydoras leucomelas
The hard part with distribution info is that using any data but the holotype location from the description introduces lots of false information. I have stacks of "Fishes of...." papers full of bad identifications. In all fairness, the survey teams rarely (if ever) have a full compliment o...

Re: Whats this woodcat?
I agree on the photos in B. macracanthus looking like B. sp. peru as per Steve's book and matching the description in there too. B. macracanthus is a Rio Negro fish and so relatively likely to be exported. Fishes from the Madre de Dios are not often exported. Although the determination in the cat-el...

No worries, good to talk about it. So, let's say you have your "wishlist moment" and head over to this site. If, as you say, you then go to wish list(1), click a new add button (2) and then select species(3) and then add to wishlist(4), then that's four steps. Alternatively, if you head ov...

Re: Corydoras leucomelas
That one record (https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/620801135) looks a bit odd. Would love to have seen the fish.
IIRC, a synonym of C. leucomelas is found in the Orinoco, but pretty sure it's not exported. Will check when I get time.

Not Venezuela, but Colombia yes (area around Leticia). That said, Amazon flooded forest biotope - not Orinoco or her tributaries.
Also, C. punctatus isn't Venezuelan either?

I've fixed it, stray character in the code. Your images were uploading, but the database never got properly updated to reflect this.

Re: Are these both (or either?) L116? Very different body colors
These are both good-sized plecos, there is spawning info on several species of Pseudacanthicus on the site but nothing specifically on L011. The closest would be Hypostomus I'd suggest. These reports will also help you identify gender but it's not simple unless you have a lot of practice and then it...

Re: Long vacation, Fish Survival
The other temptation to avoid is a big feed or maintenance day before you go. By all means do this, but do it 48 hours or more before you go so you can spot anything wrong before you leave.

Re: Long vacation, Fish Survival
Entirely agree with 2wheelsx2, folks feeding your fish are more likely to cause issues than if fish are left alone. Someone to check filters are running and add water is all you need for 19 days.

Re: Are these both (or either?) L116? Very different body colors
The first fish is Aphanotorulus emarginatus , it could be L116, but L011 is much more likely and is what I'd go for in absence of any locality data on the basis that this forms the major export locality of this species. I can't really see the second fish. It actually looks like Pseudacanthicus cf_le...

Re: Is it possible to spawn Synodontis contractus?
Yes, lacustrine synos trigger differently from riverine ones, I say this on the basis of a few examples documented in the literature. Well conditioned fishes in both cases, but additionally riverine spp. trigger on water changes albeit less so in those from black water environs. I have had eggs from...
