Leiarius longibarbis

Post by cichlidfinder »

Well I cleaned the glass and took a few pics of this guy. I'm not sure if the quality is good enough for the cat e log or not. If not I'll keep taking pics until I get a good one. :lol:

I downsized these to make them more forum friendly. If anyone would like I can email the full size versions.

What a spectacular cat. It looks very similar to our Achara cats Leiarius Marmoratus.

I was under the impression that Leiarius Marmoratus and leiarius longibarbis were synonymous.

When I first posted this cat to confirm the ID JOOLs mentioned wanting to get some better pictures. This is why I,m posting I would love to have one of my cats in the Cat e Log.

I'll keep my fingers crossed...

I've dug up some info and I think the Leiarius Marmoratus
has lines while the leiarius longibarbis has spots. this is just eying some of the pictures i've seen. Hope your pictures get posted. Finnage is always a hard thing to capture.
