It's a bandwidth thing. I have put a sequential option on the thumbnail pages for the reasons you mention. I wish to avoid people clicking (and this downloading) loads of image pages while just looking for one they want (if they do this then what use thumbnails?). I should check our bandwidth usage ...

I'll just remove that species.

You gotta thank Silurus for brokering use of these pictures, and I agree, they are spectacular.

Also, now the cat conv is behind us, I've got a LOAD of pics from India that I was saving until Silurus gave his talks.

Well, sort of. A sort of goodbye: It's with something of a sense of loss that I'd like to announce that Yann has retired from the moderation team due to personal comittments. A long time contributor, he'll be missed and I know this was a hard decision for Yan to take. The good news is this really ap...

Jools, the amount of work you put into running this site is past amazing. Thank you once again for making and keeping this place so wonderful! It's my pleasure. I'm quite weird that way. :-) Actually it's really good having bug reports from the forum as I don't tend to notice them as quickly and wi...

...the Random CotM button is giving errors too. Sorry Jools. It's fixed now but by something of an ugly hack by me. Rusty, The original code was $file = "$ryear_$rmonth.php"; my hack was simply $file = "$ryear"."_$rmonth.php"; I can't understand why this broke in the f...

I split the above question off from the original topic on Jaguar Cats as, while related, would have confused the original thread somewhat.

Jools

I think it depends on the plants. My Ancistrus don't touch java fern or anubias, will eat amazon swords if hungry and will demolish things like cabomba. Maybe we should list what plants are safe with what genera rather than the other way around? Now that would be a good article... Anyway, we can't a...

I donate the last one to Jools if he wants to use it in the site.

Heh, that's pretty good. I do prefer "fantastic help" to "flash inept cat" mind you!

Jools

Chill,

Are you intending to continue to use Armbrusters view of the Loricariidae?

Jools

Hi,

I might have fixed this by accident, but I have tried L333 and can't see a problem with it?

Jools

Thanks, hopefully this is about the last bug caused by making the "by update" page the default cat-elog page.

Bug fixed.

Jools

Actually, the l-number pages aren't that big. Good point about the menu option though, I have added that.

Cheers,

Jools

It was more the fact that Planet is now some 12000 files strong, that I'm still very tired and that I'm adding content at breakneck speed. Technology allowed me to work on the site away from home, I guess that came with the price of a little complexity. Like me, the site appears to be bedded down ag...

Explosion is a good word, but I think cock-up is somewhat more descriptive. This was caused by the front page template being corrupted in the move from my laptop back to the main server. Anyhow, it is fixed now and was a "unique" occurence due to the fact I've been working off the laptop f...

Another bug introduced by me working on a laptop for the last two weeks or so. I have rebuilt the pages this afternoon and they are uploading now.

Sorry for the hassle, I'm just recovering somewhat from the flux.

Jools

One for Rusty...

Thanks for posting the pics, I've added them to the cat-elog and would appreciate a few updated pics when the disease clears up.

Cheers,

Jaguar cats are auchenipterids. Comapring them to doradids is like comparing apples and oranges (actually, given the relationships between auchenipterids and doradids, that's more like comparing apples and pears). Of course they are, that's why I didn't say "unlike other doradids", albiet...

was named as such for the large eyes...

That's your fish IMO.

You should also get yourself along to the catfish convention in Febraury where Shane and I will be talking about collecting in S. America and India & there will be several members there who have been collecting "in Indi"...

Most discus tanks are tall and the feeding regime tends to supply plenty of rich food for the Jaguars so I think the cardinals will be safe. While jags come out at night and cruise for food they (unlike Doradids) do this along surfaces and not in midwater generally. Also, they only tend to do this o...

Standard Hypancistrus - see articles on L66 etc.

Jools

On your average fish, L. heterodon is cream coloured and L. joselimaus is grey. L. heterodon has larger spots. To confuse all this there is also L314 which is grey but has the same size spots as L. heterodon! My standard disclaimer applies : when comparing spot sizes you have to compare fishes of th...

I have found that some hobbyists identify L052 as Dekeyseria pulcher. Is it true? Yes, that's true. But not correct IMO. D. pulcher is a Rio Negro fish and L052 is a Colombian export. The whole issue of these fish is murky. Stick with the l numbers on these ones for a while, we have D. pictus and D...

Hi All,

That's us home again (jiggity jig) safe and sound. What a blast and OH LORDY how much stuff do I need to do to the site...

Good point, I'll look into that.

One to keep an eye on?

OK, this is now fixed.
