Re: Fishes near Iquitos

Hi Eric, Congrats on your flock of Physopyxis ! They are a neat and interesting doradid. I had maintained a group of them that I collected in the Rio Negro in Brazil a number of years ago. But no breeding. When you get home you might want to dig into the taxonomic weeds a bit in that in addition to ...

Re: Fishes near Iquitos

Hi Eric,
Looks like you are having a good time!
First batch of photos - picture number three - small doradid. Looks like a Physopyxis species to me.
This is an edit...I goofed ("adult"): the 5 mm size that you provided is even smallish for the genus Physopyxis.

Re: Fishes near Iquitos

Hi Eric,
Looks like you are having a wonderful fish-time!

I haven't pulled out the paper as of yet but the caudal pattern on the first Otocinclus certainly brings to mind the species O. batmani.

Hi Eric,

Fast for putting in the new species...good!

The website I mentioned with the incorrect author placement for T. humboldti was the World of Fishes.

When I finish here a copy of the paper will be heading your way. Enjoy!
