Re: Can any one ID Please?
I am pretty sure most fish listed as coming from Columbia are from Brazil. All I do know is they came in to the UK from an importer and were on the list as L066 which they are not, by any stretch of the imagination. The reason for requesting an ID is that the fry are now of a size that i can sell so ...

Re: Gravel or sand for plecos??
This question is best answered by the fish. Many fish have sound reasons why they would prefer one form of substrate over another. Some fish need to burry in a soft sand due to several reasons , some use this burrowing to await prey some to hide during daylight ,and some just find it easyer to feed ...

Is it easy to spot differences with in the two genus’s?

Naturally people only post if they are unsure of the ID of a fish. I would hate to think people post just to confuse or to brag.one-o-nine wrote:I think it's a Hemiloricaria or a Riniloricaria, but I'd like to know which one.
I can't find it in the Cat-elog.
If it was easy to find, I wouldn't have posted it here.

Re: help! i need to get my pleco out
If you can suspend the decoration just over the water, with the opening of the cave pointing down, the fish will eventually come out - if you can't do that over the tank itself, try to arrange something over a bucket or some such. -- Mats This is the best way if any of the fish is "Hanging" out let ...
