Re: Catfish Photography
I'm starting to run out of "outside" catfish, and thus the first L-number catfish has found itself in-front of my camera.
According to my colleague this catfish has few to none photos out there, The L-327 (). A lovely little L-number with some gorgeous spots.
Again, need to split it into two posts (too many photos )

Re: Catfish Photography
Last post of the weekend, and a species/population that I've photographed before.
Since there weren't any more photos of this species/population out there I decided to re-visit it and do some detail shots and photograph two new individuals.

Re: Catfish Photography
Thanks! Always nice to see fellow Norwegians on these forums
I see you're located in Stavanger. If you pop by Bergen I recommend dropping by Midtun Zoo to have a squiz. We keep quite a few cool species
So, there isn't a specific section dedicated to Catfish Photography apart from the species photos you find in the Cat e-Log. I just started a thread within the "Speak Easy" section to showcase my photography, a bit of shameless self-promotionsturiosoma wrote: ↑18 Mar 2023, 20:30 Very nice pics and where are you finding the Catfish Photography section.

Re: Catfish Photography
Been a bit quiet from me lately. Got a new job, went on holiday, photographed some wild, marine fish for once. But I am back behind the camera with catfish in front of it now
Got to shoot the Shadow Catfish yesterday for Haakon's up coming presentation on catfish keeping (if I understood the subject correct).
Here's the result of this quite cool, little catfish

Re: Catfish Photography
Finally got some proper time to do shoots! Had about 6 hours yesterday and 6 hours today, so prepare for more shots from me!
First up for yesterdays session, this elongated fella.
We landed on that this was a Giant Whiptail Catfish , but there were no labels on the tank, and thus the owner needed to do a deepdive into the archives to look it up.
Feel free to correct the ID if we're off

Re: Catfish Photography
I think the Planiloricaria might actually be Pseudohemiodon. There are a few of these from Peru. On phone at the moment, when I get to a big screen I’ll have a look unless anyone else wants to chip in with an ID?

Re: Catfish Photography
That might be, I'm still very very much a novice on catfish in general (I just enjoy the photography and species diversity ). So I get the IDs from my colleague who owns/imports the fish. I can ask for an origin of the specimen if that helps?
Also, next species up, Pictus Catfish ()

Re: Catfish Photography
Revisited a species that I did before as I didn't particularly like my previous shots of it.

Re: Catfish Photography
Back behind the camera, with catfish in front of it!
Work and travel had me smashed out with no time for catfish photography unfortunately.
However, my good mate Haakon is heading to Ohio in a week or so to do a presentation on Apistogramma and "An Ode to Oddball Catfish" at the Ohio Cichlid Association Extravaganza.
My main reason to satrt with photographing catfish was to produce images for his presentation, and there was a few last species and individuals he wanted photos of.
One of them is

Re: Catfish Photography
Another species you get to learn a bit about from my good mate Haakon at the Ohio Cichlid Association Extravaganza is this Dwarf Synodontis (Microsynodontis sp. "Nigeria")
If anyone can nail this one down to species, feel free to yell it out. I'll dig a bit and see if I can get some more info regarding this fish.

Re: Catfish Photography
Thank you for the kind word!
To follow up last week, I've managed to photograph some more catfish! One of my fav. photo subjects so far, L135. What a gorgeous catfish!
