There is no min nor max. The main thing is to keep it species specific. I would be happy to edit and/or support. The blue jumper is important to write about as what there is limited yet it has appeared for years and years in export lists.

This would have been input by @MatsP or Birger. It could be a mistake for Ogôoué but I think, looking at it, it appears to be bad data. I can't check book sources ATM but I'd go to Seegers and Poll to check if I could.

Awesome, nice work Milton.

I can't recall why we ended up putting these in Glanidium - happy to move to Tatia and add that new common name. Yes, I agree, I do think 1 and 2 are the same species but one is from a 1990s picture taken in Peru by an exporter and the other is from the well documented import of these into Pier ...

Brilliant updates again, thank you Halvard! I have downloaded all the images (from the titanic pleco) to the ones immediately above. Now, I can add them easily over the next week or so. I have taken some time to do this, please don't think my enthusiasm is waning - it is not! I am just quite busy ...

I do like the idea of pleco satay and enjoyed seeing the picture of it. However, the paper talks about sustainability and I would have thought the aim of utilising invasive species in these ways would be to make money while eradicating them. Eradication of your source material is not a good business ...

How long have you kept the fish?

I think we published L066 in 2000 or so, plus Ingo's seminal work earlier than that.

Cheers,

Jools

Good discussion. Before I read it, or the paper (thanks Eric), I went to sexual dimorphism. Those around when L080 was introduced will remember it being imported "hairy" even at quite small size. Indeed, Ingo's original photos of it here show that very well. It was one of the first L-numbers bred in ...

Are there many gut analysis papers for this genus? I wonder what they are digging into in the wild. I figured larger insect larvae, but it could be snails or as wild as crustaceans. Do you think they are finding food in the substrate or in the "nooks and crannies" of a hardscape? My only experience ...

It looks a _lot_ like a Peckoltia - that's really interesting. I can't think of another vertically striped species?

Cheers,

Jools

Yeah, I love this fish (one I collected) and agree with all of the above. They do need sparkling water - by that I mean decent DO. There's a spawning report in Baensch, catfish atlas.

Jools

As I've said to the OP, we don't have many pictures of these guys, or info. So send anything along and I will capture it in the species profile.

Cheers,

Jools

Awesome, looks like a lot of fun and good folks!

Perhaps you could write this up in one or two CotM articles? Would be nice (a bit like L200) to have two of them each comparing against the other and the usual care information.

Think of it as reviving Elvis, or Ghandi, or whatever works for you. Not dead, just resting....

Thanks for the update, I've always "felt" there was something in this.

So Mike from AquaImports finally got another batch in: To me looks to be the same fish species as Rpul's. Please help us ID the species or at least determine if this is P. p. or not? It could be, I am not so sure but I can't say it is something else. While the whiskers maybe have not developed I do ...

Our UK peer Rpul thinks he might have the P.p. If you cared to look at his pics, what would you say for the ID? https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/pinirampus-pirinampu-grow-out.761078/ They do look like the real deal to me. Mostly because of the whiskers but also eye shape and ...

This is caused by third-party sites not providing data (quickly) to check against cat-elog data. So, it can be variable.

I am seeing the same problem - I will see what I can do.

Cheers,

Jools

- HH, is it OK to add the images from the article while citing it or would you like to add them directly?

No worries either way,

Cheers,

Jools

updated.

What characteristics are you using to determine the ID? I have no reason to doubt the ID but if we're going to really get into it, a good start would be what you see and think about the fish now.

Cheers,


Jools

They look like to me.

Cheers,

Jools

Wow, maybe that's a world first? Anyway, massive congratulations - we'd be delighted to feature a spawning article if you have time - it's been a while.

Cheers,

Jools

That's a yes from me too.

Jools

That is a lovely note. I didn't know Larry in real life, but we talked a lot here. I am sad to hear of his death.

Thank you for taking the time to tell us a bit more about the @Apistomaster.

Jools

It's your hometown rubbernose! Well, nearly.

Thanks for posting.

Seems like I could nuke "references to sex" without much todo. I already had switched off "Gambling & Betting (18+)".

Also, I had a look at what "sensitive ad categories" I can control to "protect my brand". This is not my world! However, the data is as follows:

I can't get the ads to clear the seach box. Here's a screenshot.Left this for 4 minutes and ads animated but didn't nuke anything. What is it you're seeing it do? The ads are adaptive, so they go on cookies on the computers browser cache and also text on the screen. If we are deep in a forum ...
