Re: Longnose Corydoras & their...aggression?
If by longnose you mean what I would call hognosed (the acutus group etc) then the only ones Ive kept are sarareensis. The males were very aggressive with each other and would use their bristly pectoral fin spines and cheeks to spar with each other.

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
An update. The egges were fertile (pic taken showing fry developing). I rescued some and put them in a breeding net. The ones left in the tank were eaten by the female. She then decided to jump into the breeding net in the night and eat the others!

Re: Banjo catfish need ID.
One. The posterior processess of the coracoids are longer and more prominent in coracoideus (hence the name).
From memory I think the anal fin ray count is different too.

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
Well there's not just one world first but another. Followed by wrasse's success with C. schultzi my Spinipterus acsi were thrashing about in the floating plant on Thursday night and today I have found loads of eggs on the substrate. Unfortunately the eggs don't look viable to me. See images below. I...

Hi
Difficult to say for sure but I think fish #6 and 3 could be C096.

Re: Acestridium dichromum (formerly New Arrivals)
Obviously there will be people who sit on either side of the issue about the usefulness of in-depth water chemistry readings etc. I admit that it is useful to know in what conditions the fish live in, in the wild. But even I (who has a very basic understanding of water chemistry - see below) realise...

Re: Help ID this Hemiloricaria…
H. formosa? - based on pattern on head (especially supraoccipital spot), in dorsal fin?

The Evers and Seidel Baensch catfish atlas Vol 1 says 24-28 dec C, a species tank, strong current, loads of algae.

Re: Unidentified Chaetostoma(?)
I didn't think Chaetostoma have evertible cheek odontodes? Looks more like an Ancistrus or Hopliancistrus to me?

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
The definite male is about 10.5cm TL. The 'female' is about 9cm SL. Goodness man, how do you get them so big in such a short time? I take it they have a tank for themselves? Anyway, my sincere compliments for this achievement. Thanks Marc. No, they are in a 4 foot tank with lots of other catfish, s...

Re: Which Auchenipterids are being kept by PC members?
Definite male above. The other I'm not sure yet. It could be an immature male. The anal fin isn't developed but shows slight signs of doing so. I'm trying to compare the genital openings: Male: http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r126/TheDarkOne_photo/SpinipterusOtorongoadultmaleanalfin_zpsdfe37000.j...
