Anyone? He still has her trapped in the cave...

We have a young group of L333 Porto do Moz who are apparently coming into breeding age. We started seeing some scratches on the flanks of a couple males who had picked out caves for themselves. Shortly after we found a female trapped by one of the males. It didn't last very long and did not result ...

At the All-Aquarium Catfish Convention 2014 Fish Show the judges' assistant (me) made an error and did not see Dave's spectacular entry, Leptobotia taeniops , in the Loaches Class. Dave's fish should have won, especially considering there were only two other entries in the class. This is the fish he ...
