Just received my copy of the Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington today. there is a description of a new <i>Aspidoras</i> in there. <i>Aspidoras velites</i> is described from the upper Rio Araguaia basin.

Britto, M. R., F. C. T. Lima & C. R. Moreira, 2002. <i>Aspidoras velites</i>, a new catfish from the upper Rio Araguaia basin, Brazil (Teleostei: Siluriformes: Callichthyidae). Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington 115: 727-736.

I would shure like to get my hands on that one :D

I have Raimundi and Pauciradiatus and found them rather easy to breed.

That's not a horrible creature. :wink: That's my dream catfish...<i>Bagrichthys hypselopterus</i>, the king of all lancers.
Have yet to see a real live one, though. The one in the picture was very dead when it was purchased in a fish market in Sumatra.
