offered as Ossancora punctata

Post by Bas Pels »

These fish are offered as Ossancora punctata, but I think they are another species

Which?

They are offered in Amersfoort, NL. I do hope they will find a good home

They look like O. punctata to me. The dark colour of the body and horizontal bars in the tail and spots on the flanks look like O. punctata. To be 100% sure would need to get a good look at the extensions on the maxillary barbels. Here is one in a dark setting.

@ Dutch Fry
Oops. I did copy the lead, but apparently something went wrong

@ The Dark One
Thank you. I really thought they are something else, but O punctatus is also a nice opportunity

A pity I don't have room for them myself

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.

You are welcome Bas Pels

Erlend - from what I can see of the maxillary barbels, yes I would say it is O. punctata.

Sorry to revive this old post. I may have an opportunity to get 5 or 6 .
Can someone tell me more about keeping Ossancora, like : full adult size, feeding, Tank comportment (noctural/diurnal), water requirement, space (4 feet x 1 foot - 50 gallon for 6 Ossancora will it be fine?), breeding ?, etc etc...
Thanks,
francois
