I got four of these another day and Im happy with them. This species doesnt swim or doesnt get up to panes like Sturisomas. They just move around with their fins. I also got some Nanobagrus species, possibly immaculatus?

I'd say it's a match on the genus at the very least. And there appears to be only one species in that genus, it seems like the species would be right too.

And I think you should send your photos in an e-mail to Jools (webmaster at planetcatfish dot com), so that they can be added to the site. Particularly the "dad caring for eggs" and any future eggs/baby pictures. Add your (real and PlanetCatfish) name for copyright/credits and what species they represent.

I have just obtained two of these fish and on examining the mouth parts I have noticed a vast difference.
Any tip on care and breeding outside og the C A Log information would be helpful.
