Hi Karsten,

What do you think about this one? @Shane collected the ones he photographed in Venezuela - not sure exactly where.

Brilliant! Really happy about this news. If anyone has a copy of the PDF I would appreciate it.

I kept a group for about 5-6 years about 20 years ago. Sounds like I need to write that up! I didn't breed them, but they were fun and easy to keep.

How close is the water level to the rim? 2" or so would mean the fishes are very unlikely to exit. There are other factors like how settled they are etc. Generally, plecos don't jump, but environmental factors can make most fish jump. Or consider non-pleco benthic species like Bunocephalus or C...

Does look like a male.

Sorry Steve, just coming to this now - a browser cache issue - glad you got it sorted.

Cheers,

Jools

No problem!

Hi Eric,

I'm not seeing this - could you make sure you do a hard browser cache refresh and just check it's your browser hasn't cached something funky?

Cheers,



Jools

Also sounds like someone mixing up L190 and L191.

Hi Halvard, Thanks for posting the new pics. I'm sorry to be so pedantic (and I know it's a pain) but is there any chance you could flip horizontally all the Peckoltia pictures so they face the left? I'd do it myself but your logo / watermark is, in most cases, not going to look good when I flip a s...

We are back up and running following a successful upgrade.

Jools

It could be a bug, or it could be the browser not displaying the new image due to a caching issue. Can you try uploading the new picture again and let me know when it's done?

Cheers,

Jools

Hi All, The forum will be offline from 1100 GMT today while we upgrade the forum to V3.3.11. These are mostly background/admin or security changes including a new search index progress bar with added statistics, optimized support for PHP 8.2 (which we run) and adds further security hardening. Should...

Hi Eric,

Thanks for reporting, I think I've fixed this one. I can only be 100% sure when adding a n. sp. - so perhaps we can both keep our eyes peeled!

Cheers,

Jools

You kind of need to go back to the magazine articles of the time. And perhaps the Aqualog book. Articles are here: https://www.planetcatfish.com/shaneswor ... +l-numbers

L136C's origins are not a tank-raised strain.

It was introduced/promoted by Aquarium Glaser / Aqualog for grading wild-caught fishes based on spot size several years after the introduction of A and B 30 years ago in DATZ.

Jools

Awesome, thanks for posting.

Jools

This is now complete and appears to have gone really rather well! As ever, any issues, please report if you can.

It's undescribed - see .

I don't, it's a Rio Madiera drainage fish.

Jools

New one to me.

Thanks Balaji, I tried various things with the type locality and it all worked fine. Then I figured out the error is caused by removing one or both of the zeros in the default Type Location Latitude or Longitude fields. I think perhaps this is what you did too? Anyway, I've changed it so if that hap...

If anyone has a copy of the PDF, would be interested.

Thanks,

Jools
PS Originally, I double-posted this after @Silurus had done so, I did search for it but clearly not very well. Anyway, thanks for tidying up.

Yup, bug in there. Now fixed.

Cheers,



Jools

Hi Balaji, Bad news I'm afraid. I copied and pasted that into a data sub and it worked. The co-ords (long hand, 28°09'00.0"N 95°00'00.0"E) have got apostrophes as opposed to quotes in them and I thought that might be the problem but no. I had previous ensured that would be translated and w...

Hi

Probably , well done on spawning them, that's cool.

Cheers,

Jools

This is now fixed.

All, Beginning at 6 am Pacific time, we will start to work to modernize our virtual private server that runs out database. It will move to newer, more powerful hardware that uses lightning-fast NVMe drives (rather than older, traditional HDDs) for storage. Once the move has been completed, the datab...

In my view 5-6" if you want to breed them faster. Smaller ones would allow you to buy a larger group likely still for less money and let them grow out and pair off.

Jools

I had a play around with it and I think the error will happen if you change a number in the gender ratio bit to just a space and then click submit. It should be more robust than this, so I will take a look at doing that.

Cheers,
