Wow, Karsten, you caught some great banjos!

Hi Karsten,

fish 1 is Auchenipterichthys coracoideus, agree
fish 2 might be Trachelyopterus cf. galeatus
fish 7 made me think of Hassar orestis first
fish 8 is Pterobunocephalus dolichurus, agree
fish 9 is an undescribed Bunocephalus I think
fish 10 is Pterobunocephalus aff. depressus

Super cool. Rather jealous of you wild collectors.

Don't be jealous. Do it yourself. It's easier than it looks (at least to do it in baby steps like I do). Ask me how later, when I'm back in the states.

Cheers, Eric

Hi Daniel,

thanks.

fish 2 might be Trachelyopterus cf. galeatus

yes, this would also be my guess..

fish 10 is Pterobunocephalus aff. depressus

yes, this fits much better.

fish 9 is an undescribed Bunocephalus I think

I just took the best fit of the listed species but I agree Pseudobunocephalus amazonicus seems wrong.

@Eric Have a safe return back

Cheers,
