What a pain!

"However, her spots are rather bold for triradiatus, no? These are present on dark wood or light sand, shes always got bright white spots" You can tell best as you can see the actual live fish. They have bred so many mutant "common bristle noses" now that color\pattern alone my n...

Male looks typical. Check your female against A. triradiatus.

L192 collection area is spot on.

Jools sent me a PDF (was off grid). This is fantastic!

"Can all fishes jump out of an aquarium?"

Yes... Once.

-Shane

No, not either. Both have very distinctive patterns on their caudal fin which are absent in your fish. Also, I have spawned lots of A. triradiatus and the fry never show the distinctive markings yours show. I am realizing we need to add fry photos to the Catelog where possible as in some Ancistrus t...

My best guess is two males and two females. Put them in a proper set up and you will quickly see the males develop obvious sexually dimorphic characteristics.
-Shane

It is not related to size. Any sexually mature male will develop the lip and extended pelvic fins if they are healthy and females are present.
-Shane

Note swollen lip of sexually active male.
-Shane

I think these will turn out to be L 448. At that size P. maccus have very distinct lines or stripes on their head.
-Shane

I think you would need to reach out and ask for current photos of their actual fish. The above photos could simply be stock photos or even just photos they took from an internet search. You would also need to confirm where the fish were collected as Colombia exports several Panaque. Also who applied...

Tried Monstera in Chewy's tank. She is eating the stalks.
-Shane

Sterbai22, Unfortunately, I am not sure that we will know what caused you to lose so many fish so quickly. If you ever encounter a similar situation here is what I suggest. The minute you observe any odd behaviour or find a dead fish in what has been a healthy, stable tank: 1) Check that filters are...

Looking at the catelog, is the 4th picture down actually M. rufescens?
-Shane

This tank was a gift from a friend's wife. She received it as a child in 1975. Still running after nearly 50 years. It is a paludarium now as it leaks at the very top if fully filled.
-Shane

Great job!
-Shane

Really it was only the wild bleeding hearts that left me a bit gutted. But as you point out Panaque for life. Chewy is 100% back to normal. The cloudy eyes (which had me worried) are all cleared up.

She is back to her normal belligerence.. attacking food before I can even let go of it.
-Shane

[rubbernose as not getting too large, and love the idea they eat black algea as well] Unfortunately Chaetostoma come from cool, rushing mountain streams while Apistos come from warm, quiet lowland creeks and backwaters. There is just no way to mix fishes from such radically different habitats in a s...

40% water change to remove final three wild bleeding heart corpses. Bleeding hearts total loss. Everyone else, including Chewy, looks good. 16 total tetras gone but Chewy seems ok.
-Shane

Concur on Epistylis upon further observation and research. You guys are awesome! Chewy"s pump had died last Friday (1 Sep). I had heard it running in the morning and it was dead at feeding time. I used a smaller air pump as a temporary back up. Flow was much less than normal, but seemed suffici...

Something I have never seen in 30 years of fish keeping... Sunday afternoon 40% water change on Chewy's tank Monday evening feeding... everybody looks good Tuesday evening. Worked late skipped feeding. Wednesday evening 60% of tetras in Chewy tank dead. Tank stinks of dead fish. Remainder of tetras ...

I think it would work just fine. I actually am running air stones in the cavities as I have more air pressure than I know what to do with. I would not try this with super messy fish (like Panaque) however as their sawdust poop accumulates in the cavity behind the sponge. Every other water change I s...

The last group I had, several years ago, was placed in a tank that had small lengths of thin open ended bamboo. I was quite surprised when they took up hiding in them like little groups of Tatia. I had never observed this behavior when I kept them in the past because I never thought to provide any t...

So I am the source. "The Tinaco was very low the day we collected. Norbert said that this was the lowest he had ever seen the river. In places, it was actually possible to jump across the river. The river had a substrate of sand and gravel with several large driftwood snags. The temperature was...

Have you read Ancient genetic divergence in bumblebee catfish of the genus Pseudopimelodus (Pseudopimelodidae: Siluriformes) from northwestern South America Until a lot more work like this is done I am not sure it's worth trying to apply the current scientific names. They were only looking at Colomb...

Just looking at specimen records is probably more accurate than searching the literature, but yes many students and professionals look at museum collections every year and find new spp or incorrect identifications. Sometimes even among the type material! I am just saying be cautious if the location ...

Eric,
Be sure to take the locality data with a grain of salt. Much of the data comes from "Fishes of..." books and papers which are often riddled with incorrect identifications. I think the most useful data to collect would be holotype location as you know that record is accurate.
