Wild caught hybrids are very rare to see. If you're saying around 50 a year have been imported for around about a decade then that sounds like the collection of a specific locality, probably by a specific exporter / importer and it represents a population or undescribed species. Because something ...

Pseudohemiodon sp`marbled`

.

It isn't. Marbled Pseudohemiodon has curvy head but these new ones' heads are triangular.
Marbled one was discovered for more than 5 years .

Very pretty fish indeed.

Regarding videos, you can only "post" videos in this forum if they are on YouTube.

Cheers, Eric

Thank you Eric, I will try it.

Don't know how to post video here, I just give you the link of the video from my photo bucket.
Hope you guys enjoy!

This is a quarantine tank and all the fishes are imported at once.
The L236 is a female about 11-12cm. The L173 is a male about 8-9cm.
The other one Hypancistrus sp is uncertain ...

The same characteristics apply to humans yet to my knowledge except for a few Neanderthals running around we are all the same specie.

Opinions without data are only opinions.
As this is the definitive forum on the web as a result of the extensive database and knowledgeable experts most answers are ...

What about the size, body shape, and behavior differences?

L66 is a much bigger fish, body lenghth can be 15cm.
L236 is much smaller, maximum body length is just 12cm.
L66 is a much robust fish when it reaches adult size.

There is also behavior difference between these two sp.
L236 is the most ...

Just a thought here. I have a copy of Loricaiids of the Middle Xingu from 2013 by Mauricio Camargo, Heriberto Gimenes Junior, Leandro melo de Sousa and Lucia Rapp Py-Daniel. It is a dual language book in German and English. The following statement appears on page 174:

contrary to what is said ...

Sure, I will post a short video I shot and show the lively fish rather than pictures.

An exporter sent this pic to me, said he caught this fish, and ask me to buy it. I asked if I can use his photo, he said yes. So I put a watermark on it. If this photo is belonged to someone else I remove it right away.

Here is a wild L236 I received last month, cheers.

It was from Lower Rio Iriri.

Pseudohemiodon lamina

?

Cheers, Eric

No it isn't.
P. lamina can't change color

smitty wrote:It definitely is not applicable to wild caught. Like I said he did not say it was unidentified nor did he say it was wild caught. Maybe I missed something in his wording.

They are very similar to Pseudohemiodon apithano: they can change color!
And both black and brown morph are found.

It is from Peru. Definitely not hybrid.

WOW, a new species of Pseudohemiodon!! Congrats!!

Do you like it?

Do you like it?

Nice one :)

Enjoy it while it lasts, it will grow normal later on.
Some zebra's are even born white without stripes and suddenly get the stripes after 6-12 months.

Please take a look at its body shape, this one is not what you think. I have those abnormal look zebras too, their stripe break but ...

It has short body and special striped design, what you guys think?

From the marking to tell the difference is really controversial because same species can have different variance. But, that is the only thing we can do now.

C.coriatae is a relatively new species found in 1997.
Is it a new species? Or, it is a subspecies of C.fowleri ?

It really hard to say, because their body shape is nearly identical, and their body marking pattern is very similar too.

What I figure out about how to tell the different between them ...

I got 50 fries in total, but different branches.

Nice looking.
How big is the tank? Looks small for them,they need large place to play and swim.

iyulian wrote:too many?
it is only a small fish. and I don't mixed it with any other fish.

if they are too small, you just should wait until they got mature.

Almost all the longnose species love sandy gravel ( I prefer to provide powderlike sand mix ).
Not too much plant, put some rock or wood inside.

I just forget how to send to him.
Anyone can help me?

hi everyone, thank you for replying me.
This tank is little bit small, but they are okay.
Last week I just get 15 eggs from three C. coriatae. 2 males vs 1 female.
They spawned in this little tank, ha.
The babies are all hatched out the day before yesterday.
