Families:
Auchenipteridae

Cheers

Digging this old thread as well... Who has what now Owning a single Nemadoras cristinae https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7415/15915885274_daae46db19_b.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7307/16352175219_cd5d03be3e_b.jpg A trio of Ossancora punctata https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8677/15918265763 ...

Hi Sorry about digging the old thread.... I was lucky to add a group of 5 Bunocephalus verrucosus after 8 years of searching and getting them in time...I had a pair for several years before...and ever since I lost my first pair while working in South America, I had dreamt of keeping this species ...

Bonsoir Dans votre volume il ne devrait pas y avoir de problème pour le Peckoltia brevis, même s'il s'agit d'une espèce assez petite. Concernant le L191, il s'agit d'un processus qui peut être assez long, il lui faudra quelques années pour atteindre cette taille respectable, mais en effet avec 50cm l ...

especially looking at this picture

Bonjour Agreeing with Jools ID!! :-) En effet, il s'agit bien de Peckoltia brevis Je pense également que le second individu photographié doit être L229 Autrement si on vous a dit que le Panaque L191 ne fera que 15cm adulte...on vous a menti...il peut atteindre bien les 50cm, certes cela prendra un pe ...

Hi!!

Agreeing with Daniel's ID on Peckoltia brevis

Hi Jac!!

Maybe the water is too basic & hard considering the geographic origin of these fish??
That would be about the only possibility I would see!!
But I am not worried they are in good hands with you!!
Cheers
Yann

Hi Jac!!

What are the parameters of the water??

As Larry stated the solution lays there
Cheers
Yann

Hi!

My Ancistrus sp Rio Paraguay would show red point coloration at a very young age...(~3cm)and even stress they were really distinctive

They look really too brownish to be that
Cheers
Yann

Absolutely great pic!!
Love the verrucosus and all the Auchenipteridae pic!!

Good Job!!
Lucky you

I would say it is an Hypostomus ternezi or a very close species

Cheers
Yann

Yes it is L147 for sure!!
Cheers
Yann

Hi!!
Clearly is this species:
Your individual miss the typical red spot usually seen on this species

Maybe :
Cheers
Yann

Hi Lello!!

Congrats on the new success!!
Looking good!!
Keep posting pictures of the evolution of the fry and youngs
Cheers
Yann

Hi!! That is absolutely great...possibly first spawn world wide?!! Yes like Jools I would feed microworms or things like that and that small I am amazed how similar these eggs and fry can look like Auchenipteridae egg and fry...simply amazing I really would have thought they would lay eggs like ...

Hi!

If I remember my "sp Colombia" I had in the past, I think they had a patternless belly

I think would fit more your fish.
Cheers
Yann

Hi!

Thanks for these informations...very interesting indeed!!
You had these a while back then?
The last picture show your "lone fry" ??
How old is he on the pictures
Hope you ll have other success with them
Cheers
Yann

Hi!!

would be my best bet
Or anything close to this
Cheers
Yann

Hi!!

It would help a lot to have the fish pictured totally and not just the head
Cheers
Yann

Ancistrus cirrhosis: I would expect them to be yellow with such name!! ^^

Seriously Ancistrus cirrhosus the natural coloration is brown with white/yellow spots

but there are a bunch a commercial varieties with them being yellow, orange, orange brown, longfins, normal fins, etc...

Cheers
Yann

Hi

Congrats!!
Can you tell us more about your fish, what are their size, how long have you kept them?
What is the tank size, water parameters...etc..
Looking forward to see more pictures of the young development
Cheers
Yann

Hi!! I was lucky to obtain from Iktus-aqua this beautiful fish. Just sad there was only one, but hopefully I ll get more in the futur. I am very impressed by the muscule part of this fish, very strong fish, that reminds me of fast swimming predator, not the smooth build up you ll often see in other ...
