Hi Oli!

Spontanously I would say these are two different species.
What immediately strikes the eye is that the whiskers of fish1 are much shorter than these of fish2. Also the head shape of the darker fish looks a bit weird.

Hi!

Havent been active here for a long time since I started working for a local weekly newspaper. Also all my big Synodontis and Haplochromids died in a filter failure and me being away for a few days...

I know theres some great photographers registered on PCF:
Now Im looking for a pic to ...

@fugly Werent they planning to "keep" some remote control catfishes? ;) scnr

Ive seen big P.pardalis or something closely related at the Frankfurt Zoo...they are in a 12.000 litre paludarium with big Motoro rays and through the glass (which must be around 10 cm? thick) these plecos seem to be as big as the motoros diameter. Havent been there for a long time so I didnt check ...

I was referring to the Welsatlas 2 in which this blue eyed fish is identified as L137 Cochliodon sp.
Compared to the WA2 the PCF Cochliodon/Hypostomus IDs are a bit misleading

This fish is L137.

The others you picked up were likely Hypostomus (cf.) cochliodon from the Parana drainage. This blue eyed fish comes from Tapajos.

@amanda I think we all see the same pictures - in one of the last games they announced here that the "world feed" was down and they had switched to our german tv cams.

Khalid would have deserved a straight red card for his Ronaldo foul after 10 minutes or so...his bitching afterwards is totally rediculous. Everybody saw that the ref was bad...and hitting Figo with an elbow knowing that he'll drop is just plain stupid.

I really hope England doesnt get to the final ...

@bronzefry heres the bracket schedule if youre too lazy to search ;)

have you checked this?

@justin imagine how many points you could have had with a little clue :D and not starting Baros :O
I wonder why I dropped Klose...maybe Im just anoyed that he does his flipflops against international third class defenses and B-teams.

Anybody got a clue how this game works in the late knockout ...

Its quite common on German Bundesliga teams that most people dont expect anything from Brazilians during winter.

This weather is kinda rediculous. When I mailed 10 days ago with my american buddy whos come over to watch a game I adviced for a winter hat and thick jacket as we had around 10°C just ...

Hi!

Imo its not a problem here in Germany as most people that think of "spectacular" fish mean big ones. And looking at it theres just no real market for 40 cm Pseudacanthicus or what else here.
Looking at it we got the largest breeding stock (from what I can tell) of L46, 236 and Belo Montes here ...

In the US, we're shown idiots waving Nazi flags and idiots who throw bananas at black athletes. That's what ESPN Sportcenter has been showing us. Some people won't go to the games because of it. Is that what you're referring to, Racoll?
Amanda

This stuff happened in Italy with Lazio Roma and is ...

Oli and I have had problems too.
He has written an email to walter with no reply yet.
We also dont know what the problem is.

In Germany its impossible to see any other high class sport live at the stadiums. So football is the only thing as a result.

And people who say motorracing is much more exiting, havent seen a great football game. I dont even consider motor"sports" sport, an event where the quality of the machines ...

Always difficult in these leagues...if you pick the players you like youll likely not win and if you pick them by good team/weak opponents you have a bunch of idiots (aka Team Germany) compiled.

Turushuki Catfish. Unusual but good community fish. Should be black. - Same guy a week later. Top fin not up yet. - So we pestered him till he flared his dorsal -- at least a bit.

^^

Corydoras barbodes. Not seen very often. Not a good survival rate.
Experts - obviously

This is a good example ...

Hi!

Cant be Acanthicus as it shows an adipose fin...looks more like some cactus (Pseudacanthicus)

Thx Amanda!
Im really jealous that you US/Can folks have such a short way to get to paradise. The 14 hours to get there from here is the only downside of this vacation.

Hey folks!

We returned Friday from San Jose and the trip was just awesome. This is the most beautiful country I`ve visited (and I have quite a good list I think).
We stayed 2 weeks in an All Inclusive Barcelo at Tambor Beach. Great beach for the woman and a nice nature park for me. We also visited ...

Somebody received two of these with a tank.
Supposedly 17 years old and 15 cm long.

the sicklid beat it up that bad

my guess was some nigrita ...

I think sitting this one out and checking back in a few months is the best to get them properly IDed.
Since we have "weird" schoutedeni - ornatipinnis - hybrids to chose from.

As for care you should use schoutedeni as a guide. There should be plenty of info on those.

so 5-7 cm? they might change a lot if they double their size or grow even bigger. Id be really curious for follow up pics as they develop.

Highly unlikely

A pic that shows the whole fish would help a lot. (without tigger and the pig on it) ;)

have you checked this?

Id say the dorsal looks like S.eupterus ...cant make out the head of the fish in your pic. Any chance for a better one?
That "scaleless part" I dont get as Synos dont have scales at all...

Check the FAQ (next to cool stuff) für how to link pics

How big are they?
