Missed the merging then...so forget my stupid remark

If you look in the Cat-elog, you'll see that ie. sp(4) is the albino kind, sp(5) the longfin kind, which would make sp(6) the longfin-albino kind I guess...correct me if I'm wrong here.

I'm from Ghent, Belgium, but I was raised in Deurne (near Eindhoven), the Netherlands.

Thanks guys, I keep larning everyday

Hi everyone,

I've been looking around for a while and thought it was time to register

I'm a veterinary technician student from Belgium. I currently have a 54L tank which is home to 6 Corydoras cf. lamberti and 2 Ancistrus sp. (3)

I'll be hanging around for a while...

Grtz,

Nieky

Perhaps a stupid question, but what does the 3 stand for in Ancistrus sp. (3)? I know what sp. means, but I can't figure the 3 out...

Me neither, but then again, I'm still working on the tank. I got 6 of them, varying from 2 cm till 5 cm. They're a happy bunch, accompanied by 2 Ancistrus sp. (not quite sure which, my guess is the common kind :)) The biggest one is most shy, the smallest one is the bravest... strange behaviour...on...

Thanks for the reply. I'm quite positive they are C. cf. lamberti and to be honest, I think they're a lot prettier

Hello everyone, How can one tell the difference between Corydoras isbrueckeri and Corydoras cf. lamberti ? My LFS sold me some C. isbrueckeri , but I suspect them to be C. cf. lamberti , since they appear not to have a "long nose". No photo's available, because I don't own a digital camera...
