Hello All

Just to let you know Allan James has kindly provided some pages for my photos. If you visit it you will see that some of my IDs are different. Some of them are intentional, although some may be due to lazyness on my part in not keeping up with developments. Hope you enjoy.

There are some very nice cats there
There are also many of them that look like they have swallowed a rubgy ball .... wouldnt want your food bill

wow, of course your Mochokidae shots are my favs! Followed by your Loricariidae shots.

The Peckoltia sp. L163 - interopercular spines, Image 14 of 18, amazing.

Pseudomystus sp aff stenomus - juvenile male head shot ..cool! that's a very pretty fish.

Thanks guys

Nice!
I like , would take that one in a minute - beautiful!
Can I ask where/how did you ever get hold of him?

Hi Steve,
Certainly a nice bunch of pictures; very impressive.
Wrt my favourites: I wonder how long the T. lucenai is?
I have been keeping a T. coriaceus sized species for years, but it has an adipose and a "galeatus" pattern. In all those years they have grown to about 12 cms TL max.
In short: can I change the T. "spec" into T. lucenai?
Thanks.

Thanks. It was only about 8cm at the time of the photo. Unfortunately he lost the specimen so not sure what max size would be. I think (from memory!) I used the lucenai tag based on where I was told they were from, and looked at the species in that area, and the best match was lucenai. Not sure 100% this is correct though.
