I was sitting and watching some old pictures, and was thinking that some of these pictures should bee sheared with you. I do have some pictures of some nice looking and very interesting catfishes. Some of the pictures may some of you already seen, sorry for that. I am not 100% sure about all IDs. All fishes were collected in Peru 2008.

Even more pictures

Brings back memories ...I recognise some of them from the trip we did up the Rio Itaya.

More pics

Yeas indeed Kim. Good memories, and many of them are from the Rio Itaya trip together with you. A very nice trip.

Wow! Beautiful pictures. Gorgeous fish.
Thanx for sharing.

The first fish is not Pimelodus blochii but .

Wow, that Ageneiosus catfish is tiny!

Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing!

Nice pictures , that Amaralia looks pretty large. The last picture is a Pseudopimelodid? Perhaps Pseudopimelodus or Batrachoglanis.

Good idea and photography, indeed. The memories and the underlying enthusiasm come through as almost tangible...

My thought too.

It appears far from easy to tell Soruim lima from elongatus and Co.

Thanks for the input.

The Pseudopimelodid catfish, have been discussed before. I think we concluded with a Batrachoglanis.

wow, thank you for sharing that pics...reminds me of my favorite catfish that i caught some where in Europe.

Hi Erlend,

Can you tell us more about the collection locality of the ""?

Cheers,

Jools

Hi Jools.

If I remember right (and I think I do), we collected this fish in Rio Itaya by night-time, with a big net over a sand bank. I would guess around half an day upstream from Iquitos. ( I know that don't tell you exactly where it is collected, but I don't have and GPS info from the collecting spot)

Hi Jools,

We caught A. ucayalensis in Rio Itaya around 1/2 day upstream from Carretera Iquitos-Nauta.

so long

Hi,

we slept here: -4°16'34", -73°35'60"
We (Norman, me and two more German guys) caught them also during the night in rather big quantities with a dragnet not too far from above location.

Cheers,

To me tha A. hancocki is a Amblydoras nauticus.
