The CAS lads visited Pier again today. Bumped into the Sheaf Valley lads and as usual got a warm welcome from the Pier crew.

Once again, some amazing species available, some for the first time ever in the UK (or anywhere else!).

Here are some of the newbies, and a couple from recent shipments - please note some of the IDs are mine so if they are wrong, don't berate the shop!

Cracking fish pics Steve!
Are the Ageneiosus sp as red as the image or was that the flash?
Martin

[The.Dark.One]

Thanks Martin. They are

Ageneiosus cf_atronasus

I think. They are that red, but I think this is due to their diet.

[Bas Pels]

Hemidoras morrisi?

They look very similar to my fishes, which I concluded at Opsodoras stubeli

Can't say they are, but it is a second possible name.

I got them for something like half a year now, and currently they show themselves sometimes during the day. This might, however, be due to the company, amongst which Ossancora punctata (formerly Doras punctata).

The otorongowoodcat is fantastic!
Congratulations with obtaining 'm!

Hi Bas Pels - I had a look at O. stuebeli too, as they are a similar shape etc, but leaned towards H. morrisi because of the dark patch at the base of the dorsal fin (not sure if O. stuebeli has this?). They are very similar. I've emailed Mark Sabaj so hopefully he will sort it.

kruseman - thanks, they are great aren't they! Been after some for quite a while now.

[kruseman]

I can imagine that.
Although my single S. acsi, that I've got from Marc, isn't such a looker as this one, I'm still fond of keeping it.

I had 4 acsi, and I loved them too.

Tatia sp. Novia otorongo" showed up at a Dutch wholesalerslist.
Could this be the same fish as your new Spinipterus, Steve?

[Jools]

Yes.

Those Nemadoras are Trachydoras steindachneri btw. ID by Mark Sabaj.

Yes Kruseman, go for it/them!

Thanks Jools - what did he say about the Hemidoras/Opsodoras?

[kruseman]

I surely will
