Last sampling site, the city of Santarém, right at the mouth of the Tapajós. We collected these fishes under a pier at a boatyard in the city, very close to where this photo was taken, just round the corner to the right in fact.

I think. Not sure where it came from. It was a gift from the fishermen, and I forgot to ask.

Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful photos, not only of the fish but of their natural surroundings as well! Great timing on your part as this is exactly what I've been looking for recently - very useful for my upcoming aquarium project, and I'm sure many others' too. Do feel free to post up any more you have, I'm sure we're all enjoying them :-BD

Great great stuff! Thanks for the temperature readings, really appreciate it. Was surprisingly high to me but I guess it's in the height of the dry season now.

Thanks again some great pictures and lots of information.

Sad question but any idea if that mud like rock can be bought? Sorry just thinking allot of cat fish if they cant find a suitable spot make one perhaps others would dig holes in it and make suitable breeding spots.

The Centromochlus sure looks a lot like C. concolor.
As far as I know, this species has not been found yet in the Rio Tapajos, though.

Nice idea, but don't think it would work. It would make a horrible mess of the tank, as the water would go very cloudy for sure.

Yes, they are similar indeed. Will have to check in more detail.

It was pale because it was very dead and starting to go bad. I don't think it looked like that in life.

Nice one. Thanks. I was struggling to work out what that one was.

It's not, some people rather exaggerate this point and have created this misconception.
