I have the opportunity to to purchase some Lamontichthys filamentosus and I'm wondering if anyone on here has any experience with this species that would be willing to share any tips on keeping them?

Thanks

That's interesting reading.

It seems this family has not been explored much, in aquaria.

I'll see how it goes with a single specimen and if it goes well, I'll look to get some more. So far... it's pooing like there's no tomorrow! :-O

Poo is good, means it's eating something. Mine had severe ...

Hi all,

That's very helpful Matt, thank you.

I have a single specimen in a tank that has algae and I'm trying to obtain the soilent green food. In the meantime I'm experimenting with other foods.

My water is probably too warm for this fish longterm, at 27c, but maybe that's why I've managed to avoid ...

I just got some fish in as Lamontichthys filamentosus , but I believe I have Lamontichthys llanero and possibly one other. I'm keeping them at room temperature in a floor tank around 75, PH 7.2 TDS around 180. I had to use Repashy "soilent green" with garlic extract poured over driftwood to get them ...

Is anyone currently keeping this species?
Are they thriving?

It is a Lamontichthys , thats for sure, and specie are probably llanero or filamentosus .

I think the Lamontichthys llanero mostly are shipped from Colombia, and the Lamontichthys filamentosus mostly comes from Peru.

I also find the Lamontichthys llanero much easier to keep than Lamontichthys ...

... Colombia. Almost 100 fishes! All are doing very well, in contrast to Lamontichthys filamentosus that I do import from Peru. I find them hard to maintain in the long run.

According to; De Carvalho Paixão & Toledo-Piza 2009 paper Lamontichthys llaner o are the only fish with Lamontichthys filamentosus ...

In the wild, Lamontichthys llanero doesn't need much water depth. Just current. I collected juveniles in only a few inches of water.

Also be careful of buying from different batches. While the Maracaibo species isn't exported AFAIK, the other 3 congeners are. L. filamentosus is easy as has long ...

I think a Tunze Stream with 8500l/h is not too much. Lamontichthys would love it - Pterosturisoma should do the same.

Hmm. That isn't a valid species. There is a Lamontichthys filamentosus , but I'd expect that to be much more than £3.35. Which leads me to wonder what it actually is...

... filamentosa is a cage brooder, with a size of more than 25cm.
Lamontichthys filamentosus is a very nice, rare fish with extremely long extensions. It is hard getting them to spawn.

... Catalog of Fishes - it may be Dasyloricaria filamentosa , but it's also possible that it is a Lamontichthys filamentosus, or something else.

Yes I have kept Lamontichthys filamentosus and they are a lovely fish, they can be hard to start feeding in the beginning and are one of the more sensitive species I have had. First food I would recomend small crustaceans like Daphina, Cyclops or froozen Artemia (Brine Shrimp), also feed them tablet ...

As some of you already know last summer I recieved half a shipment of L. Filamentosus w/ the other half going to another club member, who unfortunatly lost all his by the 2nd month. Well with the shape they came in from Peru (Very aenemic) and they're disapproval of nearly every food offered, I've ...
