Ochi, H., A. Rossiter and Y. Yanagisawa, 2000, "The first record of a biparental mouthbrooding catfish". J. Fish Biol. 57(6):1601-1604.

Just came across this reference today. Haven't yet read the article, but the title sounds pretty sensational.

(The fish in question is Phyllonemus typus, a small Clarotid catfish from Lake Tanganyika.)

Dinyar and others,

There is a subsequent paper(s) (may have been two more) on this subject after the one you quoted. Anyone interested can email me for a copy.

I've got a german paper on that, from a guy that has bred them; according to this paper; they're pretty evolved too;
contrary to many bi-parental cichlids from Tanganyika, wich just split the duration of the breeding, and switch eggs or fry only once; these catfish actually switch often, to enable mom or dad to feed.
I've got two couples; can't wait!
