This is now fixed and the correction on the species made to prove it works.

This is now fixed. The temporary area used to initially hold upload files had unexpectedly filled up and so clearing it down has resolved the issue.

This will be a clash with the javascript used for uploading and the javascript I removed for the tooltip issue. Almost certain - looking into it.

But in shanes venezuela dairy he tells about catching these in the llanos. So??

No, he doesn't, he talks about this: . Don't worry, you are not the first to be confused by this!

I've been working on this and I now think I've got the final (for the next 10 years! :-) version working. You can see it on the first page I've refreshed here: https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/recent_species_updates.php Will post again when this is rolled out across the whole site. Cheers, Jools

It'll be an amalgam of the most commonly photographed catfishes on the internet. Guessing Corys and Channel cats and, of course, artificial "imagination".

I can't see clearly enough to count them, but I think I see more than 10 rays.

The tooltip code is some 20 years old. It was cutting edge then but is super clunky now. So, I've ripped it out and replaced it with the modern way of doing similar. In the forum, it's not finished yet, but at least we have the image back. There are about 20 other uses of tooltips outside of the for...

If you discount those familes, you're getting into the realms of species that have not been bred before. Or at best once or twice. Are you really sure none of them work for you?

Jools

African, but consider ?

You don't normally need to do this but breeders of other families of fishes like characins for example keep males and females apart and then put them together. Reducing to one certain male is a good shout - having six is an unusual set-up. Honestly, try neglecting them for a few weeks then pick back...

It's a bug looking into it.


Jools

Good point. Bad guys don't like water.

Jools

Look in Cat-eLog - other stuff - Brazil negative list.

It's not clear-cut for me. Here's some data, starting with a translation of what was written when L386 was introduced in DATZ. "L-Numbers A "new" Harnischwels from the Río Magdalena As early as autumn 2003, Transfish (Planegg near Munich) imported a Lasiancistrus species from the Colo...

One last time, with feeling!

I'll just leave these here.

Just on the lights, as I brought it up, agree with 8 hours, just not so bright or rather think about making it a little less sparse. I also have all sides of my tanks, except the front, covered.

Great, and the fish look really nice. I'd consider spawning mops and/or java moss. Maybe the only thing missing is the spawning site.

For me, I'd lower the lighting and not have too much current - but that's fiddling at the edges.

Jools

If the females are in condition, neglect them for a few weeks. Then start up your regime.

What size are the fishes, can you post a pic or two?

Jools

That was caused by a line of code I can't remember ever seeing before. But I wrote it! Anyway - the problem is fixed and will work faster in the updated environment.

Jools

Excellent, thank you for confirming.

Jools

I think you might be right, but I didn't manage to take pictures of it. It was a really ordinary looking pleco, right? But quite the cool species still? Yes, one for the catfish hardcore. A stupidly dull-looking pleco that is only cool to cool catfish people. I use the term "cool people" ...

Yes, "the crying whiptail". These pictures look a lot like but it should be the species you mentioned. Did you, want any chance, get a picture of the mouth?

Cheers,

Jools

Awesome possum. I've uploaded the Jag pics. I think (if I've remembers my "socials" correctly) in those cool new fishes is a flat pleco from the Orincoco. It is highly cool, please take many pictures. :-) Cheers, Jools PS I look forward to seeing Haakon again in March - maybe you could acc...

Agreed - good spot @Kryptic. The same image is in the right place () too.

Have fixed it.

Jools

How are you getting on with growing them out? It'd be interesting to learn if there is a problem with predation.

Cheers,

Jools

I'm not sure of the blackened interiors in the lower two. The vertical one might be a conifer and I'd avoid it. The other two look OK but I don't think many, if any, could ID these to species beyond saying they are probably deciduous and probably OK.

Jools

The other ones to consider are and , they tend to have more pigmentation in the unpaired fins - but it didn't look like it from the picture. Could we get a few more pictures in better focus?

Cheers,

Jools

I think there are at least two trees in there maybe three. Unless the seller can confirm where they came from and if they've been treated with anything then it's potluck. Sticking them outside in water for a few months would tell you if they'll be OK. I can't help thinking you could collect your own...
