Thanks a lot...

Hi there...

A friend caught a lot of these babies in a small tributary in Pará State, near Belém. It looks like Megalechis thoracata to me, what do you think?

They are tiny, BTW... The bigger ones are half an inch long. :mrgreen:

Best ...

You're probably right... Since A. carvalhoi comes from Guaramiranga and region (high, colder, relictual rainforest area). :roll:

Is there any place we could find a diagnosis on this species? I saw the thumbnail of the A. rochai pic on CorydorasWorld (not a member there), and it seems very close to ...

Long time no see...

What do you think of this Aspidoras? Comes from NE Brazil, more specifically from the middle of Ceará State, far from Crato. I'm thinking on A. carvalhoi, but not sure. Any thougths?
Best regards.

Daniel.

Thanks for the help, guys... The guy who caught it said its colors were identical to these of Tatia simplex, BTW.

Still don't know exactly what it is, but we have fewer options now.

Best regards.

Daniel.

Long time no see... :oops:

A friend caught this specimen in Central Brasil... Only thing I know is that's a nice fishie. :?

Hi all... Long time no see... :oops:

Got a nice doradid a few days ago. No idea where it came from, though, only that's from Brazil. :?

Only thing I'm sure is that it's a NICE CAT. :lol:

Some pics of it...

Thanks, Silurus...

My friend kept asking me "what is it" so many times I had to be sure.

Thanks again.

Best regards.

Daniel.

So... Is this really Rhamdia quelen?

Best regards.

Daniel.

Thanks, Silurus... A few more pics, now underwater. :D

Is it really Rhamdia quelen ? :razz:

Hi all.

A friend of mine got this specimen in Southeast Brasil, São Paulo State... Possibly a Rhamdia sp., but clearly Heptapteridae. Any chance of IDing it?



Best regards.

Daniel.

Thanks.

Hi all.

I found some Synodontis , and I'm thinking they can be Synodontis robbianus . They are not youngsters, and are at least 3 years old. Any thoughts? Here are the links for the pics, in my Gallery.

Gallery - Pic 1
Gallery - Pic 2
Gallery - Pic 3

Oh, all three are 4-5 inches long. :wink ...

Nice pics... Congratulations on the spawn, ,and thanks for sharing.

Best regards.

Daniel.

Mark,

Nice to read - and SEE - that. Keep us updated in future spawns... I'm pretty sure they're gonna get it done right soon.

Hope my Megalechis thoracata get into "spawning mode" soon.

Best regards.

Daniel.

Awesome fishes... A bit crowded IMHO, but still impressive. 8)

Just a couple suggestions... I think some substrate would make the whole tank and the fishes look better, and some extra hiding spots are not a bad idea. :roll:
Oh, I'd put some caves for the L-24 plecos to hide and maybe breed. :P ...

Nice pleco, BTW.

Best regards.

Daniel.

Henrique,

Nice find, IMHO... Looks like a Parotocinclus . Surely it's not a juvie Hypostomus or Rineloricaria , both are different and this fish looks more adult than a fry... That leads me to a small-sized species, and its look suggests Parotocinclus .

It looks almost identical to P. aripuanensis ...

Yup... I agree it's not a Callichthys. The eyes are too big for this species... It should look like this:




Best regards.

Daniel.

Nice pleco...

To get pics on the Cat e-Log, send'em to [email protected]

Best regards.

Daniel.

Robby,

I don't think it's a L083, Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps ... Looks more like a more colorful sport of G. joselimaianus IMHO. Have you seen this pic, of a specimen owned by pureplecs?
Here's a pic of one of mine...

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d183/pureplecs/Plecos-Catfish/L001b2.jpg ...

A picture of the belly colouration might also help , but I still think we're going to struggle becuase, as Daniel says, we need to know where it came from (so don't haul it out of the tank just for that).
Jools,

I think this picture shows the belly coloration nicely... And it looks just like the ...

I really think some info on the collecting site could help us here... Especially when we realize that G. parnaibae is a not-so-common species in the hobby. Both specimens I had, including the one pictured now in cat e-log, were wild-caught in the Parnaíba River Basin.

Best regards.

Daniel.

The poster isn't the same - read the posts - and the last post from Daniel shows a different fish for no apparent reason?


I think Daniels is showing a pic of what generally is referred to as a "Leopard pl*co" and how it's different from the pic robby is showing.

Yes... That's the reason. I ...

I agree... They are usually unmolested by these cichlids. At least mine almost never gets a bite. And never gets a beating, BTW.

Best regards.

Daniel.

Robby,

I really think it's a nicely patterned "normal pleco" (well, they're not the normal around here, that is Hypostomus plecostomus/ H. punctatus ). Here's a not-so-good pic of my Pseudacanthicus leopardus "Roraima", LDA-07:

Jools,

It got nicer after it settled down, didn't it? Gonna send you the pics ASAP.

Best regards.

Daniel.

Already on... Check it out: .
I´m glad to contribute with PC... And much more to come.

Best regards.

Daniel.

So... What do you think? Megalechis thoracata?

Best regards.

Daniel.
