Look like "low quality" white panda mutation of pandas... low quality in terms that the natural colour bleeds in rather than showing true white.

Either way, theyre cute and interesting in looks all the same

Someone on a discord group I help run picked this guy up and is wondering what sp it is?

Any clue?

Ariidae

. Most are marine.

Thank you! Pointed them towards those.

Besides striped eel tailed cats, is there any catfish that is saltwater or maybe even high end brackish?

Someone is trying to see if there are any options but I guess striped eel tails are illegal where they are so that option is out.

Unsure where to post this

Ooooh that genus has a lot of really cute ones. Especially h. Bolivianus--the eye is cute

No didn't buy it, but these were different. They were in the gibbiceps tank.

Marking is kept to above the upper body, too light to be CW048.

Can compare to my female elegans

Will hazard a guess at c. Elegans or a similar one in that lineage.

Be cautious with this one.

The body shape is more short bodied, which isn't ideal for breeding. Combining this with inbreeding is risky.

The ID is probably good, these things aren't easy to ID 100%. Well done - it's a good looking individual. Cheers, Jools Thank you! That's one of the fun things with these guys is telling them apart. Seems Platorynchus is one of the most frequently seen at my stores here. All labeled as vittata thou...

Cheers, Eric

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

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...

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...

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 ...

Dang! Wow! How many species do you have?!? :-) Cheers, Eric 16 species! Aeneus, schultzei, eques, sterbai, elegans, leucomelas, loxozonus, splendens, pygmaeus, C102, CW028, ambiacus/agassizii, paleatus, weitzmani, panda, and trilineatus. Multiple tank syndrome pretty bad over here lol most are kept...

And bonus, Farlowella teeth seen under portable USB microscope on tank glass

Photos of my plecos and Farlowella

Oh and this is what I meant about the caudal fin marks. This one shows it

May be a long post... have a lot of cories
But want to post some photos of my guys.

More recent views of mine...

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...

Can we sex Ugg off this photo?

Hes all settled in, and he is absolutely handsome! His spots are really pretty. Some blurry photos with his dorsal extended as well.
Are the body spots like this normal for pardalis?

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...

Lol I assumed short for "ugly" but could be after the boots too lol

Hes a cute little guy though, but Ugg suits him anyways, so no need to change it
