So far, three species of Auchenipteridae are known to spawn in caves, Duringlanis altae, Duringlanis Perugiae and Spinipterus asci. It will be interesting to see if related species also practice this form of brood care. Now we just need to find additional species of these neat cats.

We can rule out T. galaxias. Likely T. intermedia. Any collection info would help further.

Are there any photos of the potential parent woodcats?

These are certainly woodcat eggs. To sex your woodcats, look at the anal fin. It will look like that of a livebearer. They are pretty easy to sex once you see it. Congrats!

Thanks Eric, I'm lucky as I was in Tennessee trying to fish. Didn't even get to get wet. I guess it is all about opportunity. If it fits in your mouth, a fish is going to try to get it. I've since been able to increase the number of water changes. Hope they spawn again, I'm still learning about this ...

Yes, this is the second successful spawning. I've had previous spawns and sometimes the eggs are infertile. Prior to this, a female laid 1,000 infertile eggs. Unfortunately the recent deposit of eggs was 2 days before my appendix ruptured. I'm lucky to have any that survived especially now knowing ...

So happy to have jaguar catfish babies again. This batch did much better than my first attempt. Here is a photo of one of the babies.

And a few of the catfish we found.

Last year, a group of us (Ted Judy, Jeff Cardwell, Vin Kutty, Ariel Borstein and our guide Hernando Gil), spent some time in Mitu, Colombia on the Rio Vaupes. Thought I would share some photos as we end 2018 and prepare for our next adventure in Puerto Carreno, Colombia.

Congrats! This fish is awesome!

Looks like a sister species to R. lanceolata.

I wonder if this is the species we collected last year in Mitu, Colombia?

Amazing! Congrats! Some views of the set up would be great. The tank appears to be set up similar to the hillstream loaches that we see.

I also experienced this same issue. I have been doing some research planning for next year's trip to Colombia when I noticed this.

Amazing! Hope you get them to spawn.

Wouldn't miss it for the world, okay, maybe for a PlanetCatfish

Hope to collect some L128s next year. We will see...

I just put mine away as well. Overall health is good. They need to put on some weight but I am very happy!

Yes, provide photos from the side. There are now hybrids out there.

$150 each! Geez, I feel I got an awesome deal then! I know they go for $75 in the UK.

Looks like L59 to me as well. Where did you get them if I may ask? I recently acquired a group last year.

Awesome! Sounds like fun! Enjoy!

Panaque is correct, no wild caught zebras are legally collected and exported. The unfortunate side of all this is that the species may well be wiped out eventually.

Yes, contact Dale

What a great time! Very proud to have been a part of this wonderful event.

My Tatia strigata seem to be going strong. 4 spawns in the last month! Centromochlus perugiae also keep on producing. Hopefully the rest of the woodcats get with it!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dZtZ2Plbl8

Do you have any photos of the adults?

Where did the luteus come in from? I'd love to get a group!

Bellies look great based on the photo of them in the critter keeper. Just be sure to offer algae tablets or perhaps even a gel food like Repashy Gel Foods.
