Would you agree, male Platorynchus?
If so, then I've got one of each :D my female is fairly mature and has been gravid, so would be fantastic if I've got a pair.

Update on Small Farlowella ID

The last really tiny baby has grown up more, is reaching maturity now that he is growing little bristles on his rostrum. First confirmed male, pretty exciting since my others are female haha... There was some uncertainty over his species because of the belly schute pattern being toggling between 3 c...

Re: Corydoras Eques setup

Been some time since last update. No spawn yet but lots of prespawning behaviors. 20220127_222601.jpg Setup as of right now. It's coming along well. Less tannins for the "rainy season" and increased water flow and temperature dropped down to 72F. Lots of live foods offered as well as highe...

Re: Thought was p. Gibbiceps, second thoughts

All I know is we are in love with him. My son especially loves him. He loves plecos the most, so he's in awe of a large pleco. But Ugg so far is really mellow and peaceful with his new tankmates (goldfish, hoplos, and garra), he's not shy, comes out often. He swims like a shark--smooth and graceful ...

I have only just seen this now. Pings don't seem to work They're interesting, for sure. One thing I note, is the pale band before the dark spot on the body right at the base of the caudal fin. Mine, the store said were wild caught. Yet, they're not shy at all, so gotta wonder lol. Mine are not as ju...

Are you sure got the named spelled right? Ugh and Ugg are way different in what they mean. And if they mean short for Ugly then wouldn't that be Ug. :-\ :)) Well they spelled it Ugg in text so. I know a lot of younger folk slang ugg is said sometimes for ugly, which is why I assumed. You know, thes...

Re: Thought was p. Gibbiceps, second thoughts

My understanding is that except for girth in gravid females, the reliable way to sex is comparing genital papillae. Sexing is good to know for curiosity sake and naming (if you name your fish), but of course, these big fish haven't been spawned in aquaria, presumably because of their habit of burro...

One photo does show slight under, I see spots, rather than reticulations, so I will lean towards pardalis there too.

Reallllly hoping of those, he's pardalis haha Hes only about 11-12" counting the tail, several years old as well. I'd think if disjunctivus he'd be larger... But I'll take a look at the belly view once we have him to confirm and pray he's not gonna get larger hahaha. He will be joining my 6 foo...

Was wondering perhaps P. Britskii based on the blotch pattern, dots on the caudal fin, and the way the saddle marking bleeds into the base of the dorsal fin.

Re: My cory's loose their whiskers

Scrap the bloodworms. Use mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, daphnia, or cyclops. Of those, daphnia is actually fantastic. Do you have photos of their barbels and of the substrate? How often is the substrate vacuumed? What's the flow rate of the tank? Wondering maybe if there's any dead zones in the tank t...

My own two cents is not to put them in as a known described sp. I would add them as Ancistrus sp # and note the trade name they were imported under and that they may be one of the described spp from that drainage but we can't make offer a definitive identification without verified provenience infor...
