Otocinclus?

I think it might be O. flexilis.
But I am not sure of it.
It came with a shipment of O. macrospilus.

Yup, I think you're right with O. flexilis. Nice fish.
Btw: are your Corys as well in that tank? If so, how about their barbels? Your gravel looks pretty rough.

Yes that's them!
Believe me, I would have never come up with that name

Thanks!
Is it rare?

My cories are in a different tank ofcource.

Nor would I......
Did you by any chance buy these fish in Tegelen?

Yes I did!
That's where I live

Really convienient to have such a big shop in the neighbourhood.
There are a few more swimming over there, tomorrow I will pick them up also.

Do so. I don't know if they are actually rare, but they are uncommon enough to "save" them.
It is a nice shop btw; when I first came their I was really stunned by the amount of tanks. I surely didn't expect such a large shop.

Well, I picked up two more. I now have a group of six.
There are some more swimming over there. So, if you are interested,...

I might, but I would like to ask you this: do they stock any Auchenipterids at the moment? It would spare me a trip to Germany for which I hardly have time this week...

Can you be more specific? What exact specie or species are you looking for?

Post by **Marc van Arc** » 17 Oct 2006, 08:40

Any species that is listed in the CateLog under Auchenipteridae, like for instance Tatia, Liosomadoras, Auchenipterus etc.

Wouter · Post by **Wouter** » 18 Oct 2006, 07:49

Nope, they have none of those.

Wouter,
Thanks for the information. In that case I won't visit them on short notice and stick to all the things I have to do in and around the house.... Autumn holidays, you know
