Cat-E-Log Needs more Microglanis species

diburning · Post by **diburning** » 25 Jul 2007, 02:06

There are 4 microglandis species that I know of. I got one today that wasn't in the cat-e-log.

Theres only 2 in the cat-e-log, one being unidentified.

Microglanis poecilus
Microglanis iheringi
Microglanis parahybae
Microglanis secundus

I have microglandis poecilus. I know of the other 3's existence, but no other data. M, iheringi is already in the cat-e-log. Whoever does the cat-e-log should google it or something when they have time.

Thanks

The general rule is that Jools adds new species when he has (correctly identified) pictures of the species. So if you have M. poecilus, maybe you could send a couple of pictures of it to webmaster (at) planetcatfish (dot) com. Also include your name for "copyright info".

Unfortunately, "googling" only works if you can (easily) get hold of the "original photographer". I've spent quite a bit of time even to get pictures from Jon Armbrusters site or some such - one picture took 6 weeks to get clearance (ok, so the photographer was over in South America catching new fish, a good excuse for not replying to e-mails, I suppose).

If you can source pictures with an e-mail from the photographer/copyright owner to allow Planet Catfish to show them in the Cat-eLog, then I'm sure Jools is happy to add them.

More to the point, how you can correctly identify it. I can add all these species, but that wouldn't be much use if we don't know how to tell them apart.

Provide that info., and I'll happily add it for you.

I found this:

Unfortunately, it only covers four OTHER Microglanis species.

I'm moving this into "resolved" as there's not been any action on it.
