I think (if I've remembers my "socials" correctly) in those cool new fishes is a flat pleco from the Orincoco.

It is highly cool, please take many pictures.

Is this the one you were thinking about Jools?

Lithoxancistrus orinoco

[HAMidtun]

Ouups, forgot a few shots, so here's a few more Large Snouted Pleco shots

Last catfish from the previous shoot!
Well, not last catfish, but the last one I will keep secret for now

Anyways, here is the Bumblebee Cory (

Corydoras(ln6) tukano

Finally I am allowed to post these shots!

I had to wait for the article HaakonH wrote to be published, but here it is, the brand new Hypancistrus sp. L527

Yes, that's right, but I don't think he has them atm, thus no images

Back from holiday, and with my flashes acting up on me, I didn't have much of an opportunity to photograph cats before my Next cruise up north to Svalbard. But I managed to pull off some sneaky shots of two species before my flashes finally died.

So here is a vibrant species, the Titanicus Pleco (

Pseudacanthicus sp(l273)

).

P.S.: not to worry, I have just received my brand new flash-system

[HAMidtun]

Aaaand one more shot of the Titanicus

[HAMidtun]

What better way to start the day than to post some crisp catfish photos.

Andes Tiger Pleco (

Peckoltia sp(l205)

Hello Halvard,
Beautiful pictures you take.
Are you using a flash or just a light?
Thank you for sharing

M. Ortiz

[HAMidtun]

Beautiful pictures you take.
Are you using a flash or just a light?

Thank you for the kind words Ortiz

I use two external flashes, one at each side of the aquarium. In the last two species I posted my flashes started to act up, so they're not lit the way I originally wanted.
Next time I'm due for a photoshoot I'll snap a phone picture of the set-up and post it along with the species to give a visual explanation of how the photos are taken

[HAMidtun]

Did a new photoshoot yesterday as the store has imported quite a few new species, so here is the first;

Hypancistrus zebra

Continuing the Loricariidae extravaganza with a species I've photographed before, but this individual was so different from the juvenile I photographed, so here is the Flash Pleco (

Panaqolus albivermis

) for the second time

[HAMidtun]

Since it's still weekend, second post time!
King Tiger Pleco (

Hypancistrus sp(l066)

Ancistrus sp(l071)

)

[HAMidtun]

Last Cat from the shoot, Honeycomb Pleco (

Hypostomus faveolus

)

[HAMidtun]
