thanks so much for your help. Wow, can't believe Judy is shutting down. :(. Yeah I've gotten lots of stuff from Jeff, too. Looking to restock on some claros from him soon. Knobnose fry always just die on me I have no idea why. It's good to know there are whiptail people this side of the atlantic ...

Hi all; I'm starting up some tanks again, and I'm looking for some sources of cool whiptails. While the EU has recently been getting great stuff like loricarichthys and apistoloricaria, I haven't seen anything cool here for a long while, except maybe (recently) "tru"E P. apithanos (don't have the ...

Sorry man, I just left.

Ataeniobius toweri has worked for me in the past.

sorry for the late response;

hi friends; I was looking for examples of the aforementioned to draft a quick sample review article for my students in an evolution class I'm heading. my usual haunts (web of science, pm, etc) seem to have very sparse information on the subject, but i'm hoping some of the specialists here have some ...

"Just gives them empty calories that they only eat because they are starving."

Just out of curiosity, how do you justify this?

ah, such is life :/.

people don't keep enough bizarre doradids these days.

I have noticed that removing fry from a spawning tank is akin to catfish viagra.

"I'm doubtful that'll work, but it's worth a shot."

I agree. It's not feasible.

At your local hardware store, you can usually find potting sand, which essentially amounts to completely inert, very fine sand (which almost qualifies as silt). It is by far the best substrate for any sand-diving fish you might have. And aesthetically pleasing/cheap, too.

male and two females, maybe more. Very reasonable price, say, 25 for the trio.

no shipping, bay area pick up preferred.

topic.

Also, it should be noted that most responsible breeders only spawn and or pair fish that have been caught in coordinated shipments from the same region. In my experience, even with this safeguard in mind, I have seen very pronounced polymorphisms in coloration between aforesaid co-captured ...

Not gonna lie--manually assembling contigs sounds like a huge pain in the ass.

Automation is present and future. You can't fight it ;).

the problem is getting them to take that first nibble. after that, they're voracious feeders, ime.

they tend to prefer grazing on fine layers of biological silt, as it were, so finely mashed peas, baby food, etc work very well in this respect.

The most important things to consider when spawning loricariids are water conditions and cave size/placement. Everything else is of secondary importance.

Dude. Nice tank.

my group from glaser came in doa . Good luck with them. You should have no problem with these.

But when you look at the base coloration between the two animals, yours has a purplish hue, which is common in 411, whereas the other picture, which, IMO, is not 411, has a yellowish coloration.

I'm grinning ear to ear reading this. Also, there's a little tinge of jealousy there, too ;).

To my understanding, 333 is only found at porto de moz and around, if slightly outside the belo monte area. IME, fish labeled alenquer always turn out to be 401. I've never even heard of a locality with the name boda seda.

It really does look like something within the 260 line. Maybe even 411.
