hi there,
i would like to present new species of sand loving catfish...i keep four of them in a 50x30x30cm tank

Image

Image

as they are mouth breeding the males carry the eggs in their large mouth pocket until the fry will hatch...
Image

as these adult animals are very slow eaters i keep them in a species-tank on sand bottom and a small airfiltered filter. the size of them is around 12cm

i hope to breed them in the next few weeks time...time will tell.

DOA = Dead On Arrival.

Jon, sorry to hear that - seems a long way around to get fish from Germany when you are in the US, and the fish comes from South America - but I do know that Glaser has some very good contacts...
