Interesting, I am only thinking high here. What if L-425 is the same fish as Werner introduced as L-329 in 2003 ? Have anyone kept the L-425 long enough to see any changes in coloration (from juvenile to adult?) I would be conferrable to call P. nocturnus as the same fish as what we call L-329 ...

Collected in Rio Meta close to the city of Villavicencio. I was not lucky enough yo collect it, but a fishermen collected it some days after we left!

I saw one some years back.

Fish is now own by Oliver Frank in Germany.

2 weeks since last post. And the 3 fishes are still alive and kicking (swimming). I started feeding more often and cleaning as often as possible. It is much work but it is more funn to see them survive, than to die!!

Thanks Daniel.

Interesting that you say that 1 and 5 is the same. I would say that 1 and 3 was the same, based on the picture.

Thanks for also confirming that we may talk about the specie C. hemicochliodon.

In 2012 I collected this fishes in a smale stream going from the Papaya Samiria national park an into Rio Ucayali. The closest villige was named San Martin and its not so fare from Tamarco. It would be funn to see if there was possible to get any ID on them. I know that Hypostomus/Cochliodon is a ...

Thanks for answering. I am thinking that its how many times a day I can manage to provide food, together with how often I can clean for them, that is the problem. I need to try to give them food more often, but I have the problem with not enough hours a day. Let se if I can sharpen up a little! At ...

Thanks for taking interest. They are producing eggs quite often, I try to pick them up and hatch them when I find them. I also empty my filter some days after hatching, so I can pic out fry that have hatched from eggs I didn’t see. The problem begins after hatching. I have tried different ways of k ...

I got this from Peru, and later ID as , if thats to any help.

It looks what you germans call Hemiloricaria "Weissdorn", and according to experts this fish is the same as Hemiloricaria platyura. I have som myself, and they also have green eggs.

Thanks!

Well, they are producing eggs quite often now. It seems difficult to get them to feed after hatching, but I hope to solve that problem. This is a photo of an egg some days ago, if you look closely you can actually see the embryo on the right hand side inside the egg. Fantastic??

Okay. So the story has taken a very interesting twist. Eggs have turned up in the tank from time to time, and often after water change, I normally see my banjos inside the java-moss after the water change and the day after many small eggs. But around Christmastime I sadly lost my adult banjos. I ...

I would also love a copy. Not every day we se a new Genus!!

On the 7 week now. Sadly I lost many of the fry, when the temperature dropped in the aquarium room, a novice mistake! But 4 fishes are stil going strong. I think they are surprisingly smale.
E

4 weeks and still alive. Like the parents, I don't see them eat. I think they have to "swim" in food, and that makes the cleanliness a lot of work. The parents have again lands eggs in the Java-moss. But I dont have the time to hatch them. As you can see in the picture, they haven't evolved much ...

Around one week, and still going strong!

I spent the weekend at the cabin, an when I come back, the eggs had hatched. This is how they look like this morning. Bunocephalus-coracoideus _7.jpg Bunocephalus-coracoideus _8.jpg Frank Schäfer at Aquarium Glaser writes this; The genus Pseudobunocephalus has been erected quite recently (2008). It ...

Thanks for answering. I have keept Xyliphius before, and I am pretty sure this isn't. Se picture for the Xyliphius melanopterus I kept. Xyliphius-melanopterus_6.jpg I can agree in the Pseudobunocephalus amazonicus , but what is actually the difference in Pseudobunocephalus and Bunocephalus ? I found ...

I got this fishes from Peru some years ago, and I want to be 100% sure this is Bunocephalus coracoideus . I am already 99% sure. Bunocephalus-coracoideus _2.jpg Bunocephalus-coracoideus _3.jpg Bunocephalus-coracoideus _4.jpg The reason I need the confirmation, it that they now produce eggs. I have ...

I have been lucky and saw around 50 Clarias gariepinus swimming together in the surface in the Okavango in Mars 2008. The fishes was around 20 cm, and i don't think they was hunting. I thought i had some pictures, but I couldn't find it.

When they grow up, they will start fighting like this. At least my fishes did. And yes, they grow to fast.

I got an interesting looking fish from Colombia, some time ago. It was one fish looking very different in a batch of Rineloricaria sp. They were all bought as Loricaria sp. Rio Atabapo. After showing pictures of it, to some friends, and experts, we started to believe it actually could be a ...

Nice picture Daniel. I hope you enjoy your time. I am looking forward to next month to drink and chat with you again.

E

Some more pictures.

The fry are growing so fast.

E

This fish would also match Ossancora punctuata? I personal think so, but I am not 100% sure, so it would be nice to get more inout.

E

From my Facebook, I did get an answer from a highly reliable person. This fish is an undescribed species from Rio Itaya. Most likely to be placed in the genus Hemiloricaria.

E

And finally, the last two pictures

E

Some more pictures

One more by-catch, this time from Peru.

The fish is approximately 8 cm long, and did come together with some smaller Hemiloricarai or Rineloricaria specie.

I have a hard time telling all of this fishes apart, they are so close looking.

E

I agree with you djtonyel, but the fish do not match the cat-eLog´s pictures of the same L-number
