Awesome thread! I'm quite jealous of the OP. Swimming with the arowanas in SA is on my bucket list. I know arowanas aren't found in the Rio Xingu (or, not that I'm aware of), however, diving with all those cool L-numbers looks pretty great! Thanks for sharing.

Hi there,
when you have the oportunity to make pictures of these bueautifil Auchenipterid species, it would be very nice to place some pics of them in this thread.
It would give a more complete image of the under water fauna in that area.

Thanks in advance .

I am curious regarding the zebras. Did you actually collect them your self? If so can you indicate at what depths and what sort of numbers you spotted while collecting them. Thanks.

In the 5th picture on page 1 there is a faint horizontal stripe pattern in the shadows. Now I initially thought this was a small H Zebra, but it could also be the nose of the A Rununculus.

Extremely nice and greed inducing pictures aside... what would also be interesting is pictures and descriptions of the habitat itself. Give us more tank setup ideas.

Has anyone been able to locate this book for sale? I tried by searching on the ISBN and tried a few variations where I wasn't sure from the image. Thank you.

Hi,
I just registered on this Board, just to read and maybe discuss some Questions and Answers about L-46 and than I saw this thread.
I lost my heart5 to the Hypancistrus Zebra l46 and I have several Fishtanks where I breed them.
All I can say to this Fotos and Informations is:
WOW, WOW, WOW
what wonderful Pictures and what a feeling that must be, holding a selfcatched, wild l46 in the hand. ^:)^
