I'm fairly sure they meant to label them as . However, pectorals are wrong. Look more like

Impossible only means that somebody hasn't done it correctly yet.

Larry:
after looking over the stats on both, filamentosus and llanero, i would agree....
I need to take a few more detailed photos, of mouth and dorsal and such...
the other (which i don't think is very common, was stibaros, but not sure about coloring...
thanks so much for the direction...
ps... not much said about feeding husbandry.. i assume herbivore? I am going to put them in their own tank and try some repashy??
any other ideas, I do have a nursery tank with some albino longfins and hucamayo's, that has a decent algae growth in it.. maybe there?

Hi all,
Have a look at <"http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... =5&t=31513">, but you would need to bear in mind that the late Bob Marklew (macvsog23) was an exceptional aquarist.

Best of luck with them, but I think they are difficult to keep alive. I'd concentrate on very good oxygenation.ClearSky57 wrote:..... not much said about feeding husbandry.. i assume herbivore? I am going to put them in their own tank and try some repashy??
