Why don't you make a small photography tank? It will be quite useful, especially when shooting fish like these. I am away from home traveling right now. I will set up a photography tank when I get back, at around 6.4th. The fish dealer who I got these Olyras from will be receiving a new shipment ...

They have grown about 3 mm during the period of 1 month.

Here are the pictures of the larger individual.

There are two individuals, the first one is tiny, about 5 centimeters, while the one that hides in the cup is about 7. They fight constantly so they are housed separately. Olyra longicaudata typically have very long upper caudal lobes, even at small sizes (I have seen specimens at 1.5 inches TL ...

, which is related. Where will sturgeon go when it gets big?

The sturgeon will be put into the koi pond.

They are splendid ! Where did you get them ? I search this species but no one sells ... What is the volume of their tank ? What type of scenery ? In China, occasionally rare Indian catfishes come in along with other less interesting species. I keep my two Longicaudatas inside transparent cages ...

It's kind of hard to take a good picture of him since he is generally nocturnal.

his cute little cup hideout

Tiny fish, 5 centimetres has a cute cup for a hideout. It really lacks the ability to compete for food with the tank's top feeders, so I isolated him. And that makes it easier to take photos.

If it was collected in Xishuangbanna, it would have to come from the Lancanjiang (upper Mekong River) drainage. Then it is not P. macrotrema , which is known from the Yuanjiang (upper Red River) drainage. Pareuchiloglanis gracilicaudata seems more likely. That is highly possible. The only existent ...

head pic

Need help identifying Rita species. This is an Indian imported WC catfish (region unknown). Definitely a Rita, but its eyes are too small to be the regular Rita Rita. I am wondering if this could be a Rita Macracanthus or some other species. It is currently 3 centimeters long and has a dark purple ...

baby sturgeon

funny little cross bred sturgeon. I took this photograph of the sturgeon in the catfish tank, but later that day I moved the sturgeon into a smaller tank with a bigger current and a much lower temp, around 16 Celcius. Sturgeons do best in a temp range of 10 to 18 Celcius, and presently I keep my ...

Microphis brachyurus
Fresh water sea dragon from Tai Wan, the adults live in fresh water after they breed in mangroves of brackish waters. It is quite skinny since it is a slow feeder, but these days it's attitude towards food is getting much better.

Panda loaches, adorable little critters. They require a strong and oxygen water current to stay healthy. They are omnivorous, and mine feeds on worms much more than algae and plant matter. They will actually swim towards the worms and jump on them once the worms are dropped into the tank. These are ...

There are six river drainages in Yunnan that Pareuchiloglanis is known to occur: Irrawaddy, Mekong, Pearl, Red, Salween and Yangtze. Without knowing exactly which river system the fish came from, it would be almost impossible to identify based on photographs alone. This fish was collected in the ...

Is it possible to get a few more closeups of the mouth?

I am traveling at this moment and my roommate is taking care of the fish. I'll get a few close ups once I come back.

@Silurus described a Pareuchiloglanis in 2004, I don't think I've got the paper - but perhaps he could comment on the ID. I agree it's a great looking fish. What water temperature are you keeping it at @Yanger? Cheers, Jools about 21 Celcius. My biggest guess is Macrotrema, however, the species isn ...

Wild specimen imported from India. It's very small, only about 2 cm, and feeds on live worms.
I've also posted some pictures of it's tank mates, all of them are strange fish, like the freshwater sea dragon Microphis brachyurus，and loaches Protomyzon Pachychilus

Awesome!!! What was the water temperature where you collected this and what are the tank mates presently? Its good to note it is taking food, these sisorids are sometimes downright stubborn and just wither away. Edit:Has the ID been confirmed? The temperature was around 18 Celcius. It is housed ...

This photo was taken the day I received him. He had quite a rough trip of over 3 days, shipping all the way from Yun Nan to Beijing. His skin was scarred but fortunately, he's in perfect health and his skin has recovered from the scars. The second picture was taken a few days ago, and you can see ...

I have uploaded bigger and clear pictures of this Pareuchiloglanis macrotrema or possibly Pareuchiloglanis cf. longicauda.

more close ups

This fish could also be a Pareuchiloglanis cf. longicauda, since the two species coexist in the same region, and that there are so few pictures available for them.
here are some larger pictures.

why are the attached pictures so small, hhh

Incredible!!! Is it possible to to post larger images please, I am able to see only thumbnails. What sort of tank have you kept this in and what was the habitat like? I have no idea how to post bigger pictures, sorry man. It's the first time I've used this website so I'm kinda unfamiliar with ...

some more close ups

I have kept this fish for about 3 months, and I took these photographs during a water change. Usually he never emerges from hiding during the day and I had to isolate him in a box to take some pics b-) b-) Pareuchiloglanis macrotrema, a wc specimen from Yun Nan province in China. This is quite a ...
