Welcome to Planet Catfish First we should have pictures of the catfishs, to see what you actually have: Especially "Peppermint" could be Parancistrus nudiventris or Ancistrus sp. (L071) (hope the second one). And gernarally fish sold under wrong name is far from seldom and commun names are not ...

Well, have a look at this (german):
http://www.einrichtungsbeispiele.de/was ... 14014.html

Agree, makes sense. What about separating the pics a bit; if you move the mouse over the little pics they al say "Chaetostoma aff. milesi", if you look at the big pics they all say "Common Name(s) L445, Spotted Bulldog Pleco, Black Spotted Bulldog Pleco, Spotted Rubbernose Pleco, Villavicencio I ...

Yes, Chaetostoma aff. milesi or also called Chaetostoma cf. milesi is the nearest match looking at "planetcatfish" and "Back to Nature Handbuch für L-Welse" @Jools and other moderators, Question: Compareing those two sources, why is "Villavicencio I", which is not the asked fish , on planetcatfish ...

Well, there are at least two way to prevent that:
1. CHECK YOUR SPELLING BEFORE USING CLOG TAGS
2. http://youtu.be/XbI-fDzUJXI?list=UUGm3C ... 7HIuyE0Rew

The moment you give classification, you are giving legitimization. Disagree: Breedings will (with or without purpose) happen. Offspring will likely get in trade. People will come here to "What is my catfish?" and ask -> some of us have to tell them what it is and how to keep them. So this hybrids ...

I am not sure yet what we will do when hybrids appear that involved more than one genus. Have a look at wikipedia scroll down to "Examples of plant hybrids" for examples. x Genus1genus2 species (they "forget" parts of the genus) I myself have to say that I don`t really like that way as: 1. the x ...

Also, as stated above, giving hybrids L Numbers (or LH numbers) will increase their value and in turn their purposeful production. I have learned this the hard way. If I take two bags of loricariid fry to a local auction and label one bag with the scientific name and the other with an L Number the ...

Befor debate, it should be sayed that some catfishfolks in germany, on L-Welse.com already had a similar idear but decided to call it LH-Numbers, which can be seen her: http://www.l-welse.com/reviewpost/showcat.php/cat/120 As the L-Numbers a given by DATZ, they will or maybe already have decide(d ...

roughly: first post / the ones you own: rather Hypoptopoma guianense, Hypoptopoma cf_guianense, Hypoptopoma sp. (3) or related secound post / at your LFS: rather Hypoptopoma brevirostratum, Hypoptopoma inexpectata, Hypoptopoma sp. (2) or related Hypoptopoma gulare don`t have that well showing black ...

or something else when he says "aff. maccus".

He likelymeans this one: http://www.l-welse.com/reviewpost/showp ... 566/cat/29 (Page in German)

Question: Could it be that Parotocinclus sp. "Rio Parnaiba" as shown in Mergus Wels Atlas 1 (2. German edition) is Hisonotus parsei or a related species?

It looks a lot like mine and they are Otocinclus macrospilus Let´s better say you think/bought yours are/as O. macrospilus. Got pics, then start your own identification-topic. The two species mentioned are very very similar. And there could be/are more look-a-likes. Easyest way to tell them apart ...

Without known origin it´s rather unlike to find out which one or two species this are (from the look rather two) What can be sayed is that they are not O. xakriaba, O. cocama or O. affinis. Real O. affinis are seldom imported, but often this name is used at many LFS as well as from importers (it`s a ...

Rather http://www.planetcatfish.com/sturisoma_aff_festivum
if it is from a breeder, which is a aquariumbreed, maybe hybrid, form of Sturisoma festivum

if it`s a wilde one, we would need a name for the place it came from

Nearly related to Hisonotus ringueleti, I would say

Maybe change topic to Travellers note book and put some more pic in

Crazy research? From my electrochemical point of view this looks fake Batteries need constant power to charge, electric catfish give shortly non constant high power/voltage (some of as know that), yes they also make canstantly very low power but this is much to low for charging a battery Anyone else ...

If you look at pics from the Ciliwung, it`s hard to believe fish can live in that dump well upstream maybe.

Yes, instead of control goldwashing, were the mercury comes from, just forbid poor people, which cannot read, eating this or that fish, that will surely work

Hey Hi Jools, any chance to record the whole thing? I have some people asking me at l-welse.com, if it is possible to watch it later. And with a limited audience of 26 (24) I think some more people would be interested in that. Daniel + the not english speaking watchers have to translate in there ...

Very nice indeed
and welcome to planet catfish

Hey, the issue here is finding a free product that doesn't need a download, works on desktop/laptop computers, smartphones and tablets and also does audio, video and text. I think the selected product (tinychat) does do that, but is not robust enough for a 15-25 participant video led session. So ...

Compare it with the description and pics of Parotocinclus. Remember the commun P. jumbo doesn`t realy look like a Parotocinclus, so don`t compare with this one. Rather with P. britski or P. collinsae. With Oyapock River you mean the river that borders french guyana and brasil, right? Not that there ...

Isn`t that on the Tenji site more then a bit overbild? I mean a chair out of 20mm Acrylic is shown here http://www.theplasticpeople.co.uk/acrylic-work-station-p-313.html Structurally horizontal and vertical forces are calculated differently. Maybe FRP is horizontal needed, but vertical PP build the ...

Leporacanthicus: Datz, Sonderheft Harnischwelse 2, page 54-59, "Rüsselzahnwelse im Aquarium", the "Unangenehme Eigenarten" part, written by Andreas Sprenger and Ingo Seidel

If you mean Nürnberg Germany look here http://www.welse.net/POSITIV/aqua_vby.htm in the middle of the page

Pics make it clearer Framework: Steel painted with - "liquid plastic" (Flüssigkunststoff)or - "enarmeler lacquer" ("Emailelack") or - enarmeler (Emaile) Shelf: FRP grating - normaly worksafty floor, sometimes used as very strong shelf, to find at industral safty stores or plastic dealer/processors( ...

They http://www.ripcoltd.co.uk/interesting-projects have a nice plastic lab table pictured, not FRP, but they have FRP products too, speak with them.

Make a google search for "chemical plastic cabinet" (result depends from the country, to less UK from here) cheaper way for storage

Hallo, http://www.weber-kunststofftechnik.de/en/ is a good, big one (even fits into "tank talk"), but in Germany :- If you need to put alot of weight on it, then steel is often build inside :)] I know some more manufacturer in this field but most of them swiss or german, will have a look :beardy ...

Me (no expert) guessing; -group-pic L204: The two on the right and the middle-one males Others females -group-pic L374: The one in the upper right corner is a male Can not see what the upper-middel-one is / female not in breeding condition or fat male Others female On the other hand this http://www ...

Please, look up the desciption of your camara. Looks like the distance from the fish at the last two pics is nearer as the min. focal length of your lens, result they are not sharp.

Otherwise a interesting topic
