Water conditions for Dekeyseria

Post by Carp37 »

I'll stress that this might not be an error- I'm just pointing it out for someone to check.

In this thread:
http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... =5&t=28671
Taratron is querying whether L052 (Dekeyseria sp.) favour strong water current or not. Shane states that despite their body shape, they actually inhabit quite placid, sandy waters and are not overly fond of strong currents.

The only info on water current under Dekeyseria is for :
"As you may surmise from its flattened body shape, this fish prefers good water current. Well oxygenated but not too cool water is also advantageous."

I'm aware they're different species with different distributions, but they appear pretty similar fish to me (even having similar patterns, not that that matters). Do they really have different care needs? If so, should we edit the L052 Cat-eLog page to reflect this?
Megalechis thoracata, Callichthys callichthys, Brochis splendens (and progeny), Corydoras sterbai, C. weitzmani, CW044 cf. pestai, CW021 cf. axelrodi, Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps, Ancistrus cf. cirrhosus (and progeny), Panaque maccus, Panaque nigrolineatus, Synodontis eupterus
