They will only get better

A very special little fish

Wow .. arnt they looking good ... very nice Richard the head /mouth dont look the same to me .?

Not quite understanding the comment scleropages..
Do you have much experience with the little killers ?
You may make fun ...but once they get a taste for mucus they dont look for algae anymore .
I have seen them destroy tanks of fish .

If you dont mind a little advice ,remove the otto ,it could cause you a big problem It is eating the mucus on the fish,its defensive system is being damaged and is working harder to produce more slime to recover ,this is why the otto is only on this fish. The fish is loosing its protective coating ....

Hi, Here are the latest .Is it the same.

And another nice fella

Yes cooking salt is ok ,Table salt is not ..the product to stop it clumping is harmful to fish. Aqualibrium salt (marketed) is fantastic ..it contains a little more than the kitchen based products . If I had the choice the aqualibrium salt is the better option .. our friend Bigamefish has the choice...

Mats ..the man asked a question..Salt is a tried and tested medication that increases x 2 the potency of other medications . Yes it is marketed ..the man says he can get it free or at little cost .. I dont understand your comments ? He asks what is a good thing to have in the cupboard ..not what hap...

Aquarium salt .

I was sent a chart yesterday by my friend in Peru.
The Amazon river is at its highest level for over 100 years ..
No wonder not many fishes are about

With regard to the ancistrus deaths ,lack of food ? agressive loach (insufficient hiding places the botia can be agressive)you dont always witness agression.
Is there much oxygen in the water .. Where is the filter outlet? Above or below the water?

Steve I find that when you feed the fish that they do not try to eat each other .
I know funds are tight in Yorkshire but they should stretch to a few eathworms (Niiiight Crawllllerrs as they say in America)
Sorry now you can continue about the Ageniosus.

Hey Birger...Tis a L191 ... Beast .
I have to catch it this week .... GULP !
Nice to have met you BTW ..sorry I did not see your talk would have been nice to see .

I am glad to see these back after the ban !!

For me one of the nicest L number fishes.

Hi I got an answer ,They are from a small tributary that feeds the Rio Nanay..Peru ..Piam is not a reference to a river as first thought .

I have asked the Exporter for some catch location details .. so at least we know where they are definatley from.

That is a very nice fish! How does it behave with other none catfish?

Thankyou for your Kind words particularly on the subject of my lovely wife no one is happier than me to see her recovering from what has been a very hard time .

Hi,Its hard to show the good looks of fishes when you lot bought all the best ones . :-p I tried to take a photo of Mr Wrasses fish but it was rushed . The best of the male fishes are with Richard ,Steve and Ingo . Here goes. The pic of the male is crappy ,and this is Richards female. http://img341....

Ah because the pictured fish is a juv .The pattern on adults changes on the head but not on the fins.
Look at the clog pic 1st Image (My fish?)Look where the bands are on the fins .
I could be wrong .

It is L202 .

Hey Marc,Dont take it to heart , I get questioned about the use of salt on a regular basis . Its a fantastic thing to have in the cupboard under the tank . Oldies but goodies . What else raises the O2 and increases the immunity/mucus of the fish in one hit . Coupled with other meds its a double wham...

I still cant speak Engish properly and I have been trying for 40 odd years ...
And as far as spelling goes ..Well .. Thats poor too .

Yes Joolz is right ,They are what I would term a film feeder .They graze lots of algae and in the process eat whatever lives there in .Beautiful fish ..one of the prettiest loricarids .enjoy .
BUT dont take your eye off the ball they suffer if you are not disciplined with the water.

Hi Funky Freddie Frog,They are most certainly vegetarian,I have kept them a few times they are more sensetive than some loricarids.
You only need to look at the dentition.
Ingo is correct .

Hi Mats , Because this is the most accurate picture of it according to my very reputable source .Given the very rare nature of this fish and that is not a regular import we will have to see.
I dont mind as long as they arrive well if they only look half as good as the picture they will be stunning.

We have and they are a doddle to ship as they are cool water fish . Also if you like them look at these they are IMO pretty Caelatoglanis zonatus :-BD I have the latter arriving in week 1 March. If you want more info www.pieraquatics .com There is a downloadable order form which has courier rates on.

Hi Miryam..Mr Wrasse is correct in his observation ,Looking at the tank it is also heavily planted more oxygen goes missing at night because of the plants. Increased airation along with a standard whitespot medication and salt @84f .it will go provided the water parameters are good. Dont get too bog...
