Re: help to id a non-catfish

Thanks for your replies! I have looked on the images of those Tetragonopterus species and they don't look like mine tetras. Color and eye size (?) are different. Originally I was thinking on some species of Moenkhausia but couldn't find a match. Now I am thinking that it might be a species of Astyan...

Just bought these cats as "striped glass catfish". One I think is a species of Pseudeutropius, second, I guess, is Kryptopterus. I think Kryptopterus came as contaminant with ?Pseudeutropius. I have K. macrocephalus and this doesn't look like them. I would greatly appreciate expert opinion...

Parailia occidentalis?

I recently have decided to add some more Parailia to my remaining P. pellucida (picture 1). The new Parailia (picture 2) appeared to be different to me. I was guessing that maybe they are not P. pellucida but P. occidentalis. I would appreciate any opinion. DM.

Have these 2 different loricariids for a while. I suspect their identification to a species level would be impossible but any ideas would be very much appreciated. I consider them as Rineloracaria but I may totally be wrong... would appreciate ideas on generic identity too. Thanks, DM

Re: Pimelodus blochii

Hard to be exact. I would say 3-4 years they did not change much in length, maybe became a bit more robust.
