Oh - very cool. I don't think we have images of these online or much info about them at all. Can I add you pics to the cat-eLog? Cheers, Jools Sure, Jools. I believe HH has also seen them at the LFS. There is a contaminant in this batch that was identified as Paraplotosus albilabris but too bad it ...

Neosilurus novaeguineae

fascinating. Any tips on their care?

This is also new to me. It is quite active. I would occasionally swim around. Water is pH neutral.

Baby Neosilurus novaeguineae.

Candiru sure don't need a ladder (If they had one, though, they might be gladder). Whatever their genus, They go up your penis And start up a home in your bladder.

The Catfish's Tale In waters deep, I lurk and hide My scales a disguise, my heart full of pride I dart and weave, with fins so fine A master of deception, oh so divine My eyes gleam bright, like jewels in the night As I spin my web, a tangled delight I promise the world, with whispers sweet But my ...

Sorry to learn this.

happy its back online again

Cool. Thanks Jools !

From Peru. 7inch SL/ 8inchTL. Cetopsis parma ?

Beautiful Asian Cat. Took the plunge after HH told me they are freshwater species. :d https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/c134/amiidae/ZFB7I4A0161.JPG https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/c134/amiidae/ZFB7I4A0175.JPG https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/c134/amiidae/ZFB7I4A0220z.JPG https ...

there were abt 30pc in the LFS but I got only 1 pc.

Tell me what sort of angle or requirement. I will try to get the image.

I can shoot with a 100mm lens on a full-frame body. so I get 1:1 ratio

here you go...

Thanks for all the inputs.

Eric, the origin came fm the source. so I say pretty reliable.

Let me try to get better images this wkend.

Crappy shot but I hope well to see the feature.

Thanks again, Eric. I know some species are hard/impossible to ID based on photos.

As a hobbyist, it is always fun and exciting to pick up an "unknown" species.

Thanks, Eric. That's my "fear" as well. Some species are harder to ID.

Any second opinion?

Collected fm Manacacias river. 7.5in TL. Rhinodoras gallagheri ? The color seems wrong compared to Cat-elog. https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/c134/amiidae/zzIMG_5625.JPG?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/c134/amiidae/zzIMG_5634.JPG?width=320&height=320&fit ...

I "ground" all my tanks with stainless steel probe (connected to the earth of the power socket) submerged in the water. That's becos I hate the biting sensation I get sometimes when I put my hand into the water during cleaning. The weak leakage can come fm the tank light or powerhead esp when it ...

yes

Yes. same species.

Yes

if they can catch it they will eat it. I find slow-moving fishes are at high risk.

Nice and thanks for the input.

Cetopsis candiru are fine together but what abt mixing with other Cetopsis sp. like C. orinoco?

Anyone with hands-on experience?

Any advise ? or best guess ?

Thanks.

Imported from Peru. Cetopsis candiru ?

I suggest JBL Sansibar sand.
You can mix "dark" with "white" or "river" if you find it too dark.
I use "grey" for some of my tanks.

Not sure how to embed YT clip.
Here is a feeding clip. No host needed. Just worms.
