it looks like sp collected fm Peru.

yes.

Nice !!

How old are they at the moment ? what other madagascarian do you have in the tank ?

Do you keep any Paretroplus kieneri or lamena ?

Very nice looking set up.

What water parameters do you maintain ?

I am not very sure what may be the problem. Do you observed any heavy breathing ? Any red streaks on the fins or body ? Any cloudy eyes ?

You may want to isolate the fish in a tank with much lower water level.

can you post a photo of that fish ?

This fish was originally labelled as Pseudacanthicus sp. XX in the Cat-elog. Here are a few details on the fish; 1) Fish was imported fm Peru. 2) This fish is abt 3-inch 3) It has a unique black color - unlike a juvenile L97 which is a little matt texture but for this fish, it is shiny just like oil...

eye color ?

yes, almost identical but the dorsal and tail seem diff in propotion. Do you reckon they are the same species ?

Hi,

May I know where did you collect this sp ? From Rio Nanay ? Do you have the data of the water parameter ? Thanks.

Thanks for the link.

so is it Mystus canarensis or Mystus malabaricus

Thanks, Richard.

I saw that sp in the cat elog too but I am not certain.

Any second opinion ?

Hi guys,

I can't find any clear match. FYI, this cat is abt 7-inch.





Thanks

Opps.. sorry and perhaps I wasn't being clear. Let say I name these so-called "P. suttonorum" as BES and a true P. cochliodon as BEC. Fm a layman point of view and with some photos comparison, here are a few of my observations BES grey in color high head profile - looks alittle like LDA65 ...

yes I did Shane. somehow I can't really "match" my fish to "P. sutt" as most had suggested but it looks more to P. coch according to the pix in cat elog or in between. :? but as you had mentioned "I do not have a copy of Galvis et al (Peces de Catatumbo) on hand, but somethi...

Anyway, a clearer side view of the fish and you can see it is now darken after a few days in the tank.

Yup, most likely both my cats are female.

Apart fm your rights or actions that you may take.. To me, nothing is really "safe" once you post it on the internet. Pretty useless even if your site is right click disabled as a simple print screen would do the trick. you best protection are ; 1) Post small file. 2) Watermark it. 3) or s...

I have not seen them in action (feed) but they would swim around when light off.

Feeders and live worms are getting lesser by the day.

I am not totally sure of the ID but "T quadrifilis" in the cat elog looks more like a better match with my fish. It's an old issue, but imo all T. quadrifilis pictures are in fact T. wallacei (based on the reason already mentioned by Martin). I'll ask Jools to do so after I've re-read the...

Hi Martin, Thanks for the info. My fish takes live worms and feeders and ignored raw shrimp. Even tho they are easily avaiable here in S'pore but I am not a big fan of live food. I am not totally sure of the ID but "T quadrifilis" in the cat elog looks more like a better match with my fish...

Besides worms, what else did you managed to get your fish to feed ?

Thanks

Hi Ed, Thank you for reponding to my email. May I know what is your opinion on the part where I see that the head profile of my fish is much slender than the "P. suttonorum" in the cat elog and I can see a few rows of spikes by the side of the "P. suttonorum" (most other live spe...

Lots of interesting info. fm a layman point of view, I can see the head profile of my fish is much slender than the "P. suttonorum" in the cat elog and I can see a few rows of spikes by the side of the "P. suttonorum" but there are none on my specimen. Any advise on the above ? T...

Hi guys, This fish was imported fm Colombia but again, that may not necessary true that this fish was collected there. What do you think of the ID ? Panaque cochliodon or Panaque suttonorum (as most pointing to P. suttonorum) This fish is abt 8inches TL in the bag http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c...

Apart from the water conditon, the eel cat may become food for your pims.

yes, that fish in post 1 (I have seen a live specimen) has flat barbels.

So is it right that Exallodontus aguanai has similar type of berbels ?

I thought so too after looking at the cat elog.. but I recalled someone ID it as a juvenile Pinirampus pirinampu.

any second opinion ?

Thanks

ben

May I know what cat is this ?

Thanks

This cat is about 4.5inches SL.

It behaves pretty much like a lima cat.


This is what you get when light off
