Brachyplatystoma juruense pic and supplements

Post by Chicxulub »

I've recently acquired a really nice example of and was able to capture this really nice image of it. I'd like to submit this for consideration into the Cat-E-Log entry for juruense. I'll be willing to submit pictures of this fish as it grows as well.

I used my upload on MFK to try to share this pic since Photobucket doesn't work without paying anymore. I can email the pic if need be.

Also, I suppose it's worth noting that I'm running an experiment with this fish by supplementing its diet. I've done some homework and I suspect that our captive juruense don't color up as nicely as wild ones due to both the lack of certain trace elements and water conditions. I'll provide PCF with all the data from this experiment upon completion

FYI, your photo is behind a members only password wall.

Is this your photo? I've downloaded it from MFK to post here, and I've added it to the CLOG (here: https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/im ... ge_id=2964). Thanks!

Cheers, Eric

Sounds like a great project, we'd be delighted to add the pics over time.

Just tag me (using the @Jools tag) when you have a new image in a post. Or email it to me.

Meanwhile, have you some data that we can store with that first picture like age and SL?

Cheers,

Jools

Nice to see you on here! I love this site.
How's your juruense cat.
Would be interesting to see if you can get those wild colors with special diet and conditions!
