I have to agree that woodcats are difficult to come by here in the U.S. I am keeping what would seem to be the most common species: milky way cats, honeycomb cats and jaguar cats. Did you get the reticulatus from Oliver Lucanus?

Looks like an interesting species whatever it is. It does not look like L-202 at all. Thoughts?

Jeremy

That video just shows why other catfish species should be more common when compared to say iridescent sharks, Pangasius hypophthalmus.

Jeremy

I agree, female.

Jeremy

You probably do not have to do anything to encourage them to spawn. If they are young, give them more time. They will figure it out. Zebras reach maturity around year two. As long as extremes are avoided in water values, you keep them at 82 F, provide pellet and frozen foods and make regular water ...

I agree that a river system would help, along with a photo of dentition. I also agree with the Dark One of which Genera to look at.

Jeremy

These are starting to appear here in the US as well. I wish I had space for these very interesting catfish.

Jeremy

Someone beat me to it! Oh well, I am still going to keep trying anyways. They are such a beautiful fish! I have 2 adult fish 9 and 12", 2 sub-adult fish 6 and 7" in a 100 gallon tank. Mine are being fed shrimp, algae waffers, bloodworms and large pellets. My favorite pleco by and large.

It is a little low to only have two fish per box. I'd think with express you should be able to fit a half dozen or maybe even more. Certainly the cost of shipping is going up but you may not get many wanting the fish if the cost of shipping costs that much. I used to ship a dozen or so royal ...

I wish I could have been there but I did not have enough fish to offset the costs of coming out. I will be at the next one more then likely. Does anyone have any photos or even videos of the convention?

Jeremy

I will work on photos.

I'd recommend keeping L. desmotes. I have found these always with shipments of L. fasciatus. They get half the length and have none of the aggression L. fasciatus has. I am keeping two L. desmotes in my 150 gallon tank with Geophagus, Scobiancistrus and Liosomadoras.

Yes we collected a type of Rivulus here as well as the North-Eastern portion of the Madre de Dios region, less then 30 miles from the Bolivian border. I did not get any photos of the Rivulus but Brian Perkins has these currently. He might be able to share some photos of these with us.

We did also ...

Hi everyone,

I am leaving for the Madre de Dios region in Peru in one month. I am going to be looking primarily for Auchenipteridae, Loricarridae, some cichlid species and killifish. I am curious to know if anyone has been to this region and might be able to share what species I may find there ...

I agree with Dave.

Jeremy

Your parent fish FantasticFins looks very close to one of the male Hypancistrus spp. I am currently keeping and the only one that survived through quarantine when I bought these fish 4 years ago.

It's funny to note ...

nvcichlids where did you get your new jaguars from? Feel free to email me off list, I tried to PM you earlier this week.

Jeremy

The jaguars are kept in a separate tank with other larger species. The Tatia and Centromochlus are in seperate aquariums for spawning. Last week I had a female C. perugiae lay around 30 eggs. These later turned out to be infertile. I also had two different female T. intermedia lay eggs last week ...

Another fish that is coming in that is very similar to that pictured would be Peckoltia vittata or L-15. More recently I have seen quite a few of these coming in. Most species of Peckoltia that have markings like the one pictured are very hard to tell apart. If there is any way to find the location ...

Glad to see another person having success with this species. While it is one of the more common species in the hobby (I am in the U.S.), it is always neat to see the egg mass. Currently I am also keeping Centromochlus perugiae and Liosomadoras oncinus . Hopefully I am able to pick up a few more ...

I will be there. I am not sure what catfish will be in ready in time for this event. I currently have Sturisomatichthys sp`colombia` and Tatia intermedia fry/juveniles that I am raising. My Parotocinclus maculicauda are spawning but I have been unable to raise a lot of them yet. Maybe I will have ...

I found a few eggs late last week in my tank of Parotocinclus maculicauda . They started to hatch late Sunday into Monday. Of the 6 eggs I found 3 of them hatched and 3 were infertile. The tank contains 4 P. maculicauda setup in a 10 gallon (40 l) with heater and sponge filter. The tank has oak ...

Here is another photo, not as good but hopefully it helps. Any ideas? They came in as H. sp. L66 but the pattern seems totally different to what I have seen from L066's.

I am unsure what species I have here. I was originally told they were H. sp. "Belo Monte" but after seeing photos of a few of these I am doubtful. What does everyone think?

~Jeremy

The water is conditioned for 24 hours before use. I will use an agent but all chlorine is removed prior of use. Perhaps the fry are more sensitive to this then the adults as I do not use anything for the adults nor any other species of fish I maintain, including Sturisomatichthys fry. The sponge ...

Thanks for the tips, I will have to try them. Here are some more observations, my Tatia intermedia eggs the last 2 times have not been in a cave but out in the open on the bottom of the tank and another time attached to an oak leaf. When my Centromochlus perugaie female had eggs, she kicked out half ...
