After isolation and treatment the white patch on the caudal region has disappeared. However I notice that the eyes are bulging. Is this normal? I'm hoping it isn't pop eye.

I have some problem interpreting the photos, I see a rather normal looking pleco. I did not mis a fin or so, and all the fins look OK to me. fungus is fluffy and in case of finrot, the affected area is red from inflammation. When a fish is attaced, this area normally is not red, unless it is bleedi...

Im slightly puzzled by the dark body colour and traces of yellow of this specimen and am wondering if it could be p gibbiceps?

IMG_1205.JPG They are far too young to be able to tell apart! When they are about double that size, it should be easy...See the attached photo of a pair of mine from a while back. Best view is from above. Wide midsection female, wide head, male. Thanks Andrew, looks like it is going to be difficult...

https://photos.app.goo.gl/9YE9dJK91QY5KG348 https://photos.app.goo.gl/XvRvT5hpjtJ9SvP66 Would like to know if it's possible to determine the sex from the pictures? The specimen is around 4 inches. How can one tell the difference between male and female? Also is it difficult to breed ? If I introduce...

https://photos.app.goo.gl/shNWzUpToA9m7vSx5 Spotted in the river. Feral population seems established. Possibly a mating pair. Does not appear like the pterygoplichthys that is commonly found in the lfs. Wondering if these are the offspring of the larger common hypostomus that used to be sold in the ...

Thanks for the confirmation.

realised that the pic might not have uploaded properly. here it is.

I was wondering if my catfish is a featherfin squeaker. The pictures of the squeakers online tend to have a lighter colored body,squat with prominent spots. Mine is about 4 inches now but the body has maintained a darker black coloration and it seems a bit more elongated than the pictures I have see...

Thanks for the confirmation

Thank you for your reply Eric.
Here's another picture of the underside of the fish.

Have some doubts about coloration as it seems closer to lineola or sp than Compta. Your comments are appreciated. http://i1230.photobucket.com/alb...
