Thanks!

I'm doing something wrong with the posting of the vid ....

I've bought 8 Gongara viridescens the other day.

Gongara viridescens

Interesting stuff! Have a great trip!

It looks a bit like dermocystidium and that's a fungal problem.

Thanks!
An expert friend allready warned me for that.

Is Cetopsis orinoco a good companion for small Auchenipterids and small tetras?
Or will they end up as food?

Juweltanks are just fine.
Have had a couple of them for years.
The filters are easy to operate and the lighting is oke.
It's more or less the Mazda of aquariums.
Not spectacular but decent fishkeeping is very much possible.

I kept Guianacara owroewefi icw all types of catfish for many years without any problems.
Even the smallest tetra's were never harmed.
Put in wood and rocks so the catfish can hide whenever the cichlids are breeding.

Yes, and if we don't, who does?

Maybe there is thorough scientific research on this whole issue proofing there isn't a problem at all, but I doubt that.

Jools wrote: 22 Jan 2021, 16:03 I think we could all agree that the heavy export of mostly adult fishes where the fishes live a few decades is rarely going to be sustainable and so must be unethical?

I'm afraid that's the case.
And by a acknowledging that it might be time to take a stand as responsible fishkeepers.

I came across a large ( and expensive) Panaque at my LFS and wondered what age it would be.
And I started having this question:
Is it a good thing to take old fish from the wild and bring them all the way to Europe?
It just didn't feel right some way or the other...
Just a thought you might have ...

Mine are pigs.

I'll try to take some better ones.

Sure but is it good enough?

These are some of my Balroglanis macracanthus that I've been keeping for a while now.

They look great!

It might!

After being infected myself as well with Mycobacterium marinum ( aquariumgranuloma) I had to euthanise my Tatia gyrina.

Your nickname suggests you're not going to hurt any catfish by catching them with a hook, I presume?

They're doing fine, but no spawning. I think I need to provide them with softer water probably.

Nice to see you have a group now. Good luck with them, they're the best!

Good for you. On Saturday I found 7 long snout corys being sold as habrosus. Don't know their ID yet. \

Corydoras osteocarus

.

That very interesting. Waiting for pics

Really? That's odd.
Don't know how to fix that. Sorry for that.

Well, since it's seems to be a bit quiet here I will respond myself.

I found out that it's C. osteocarus.
In my LFS I found 15 more so I now am the keeper of 17.

Hi,

I spotted 2 of these among Corydoras habrosus and was wondering what species it is.
I am thinking of C. osteocarus.

Very nice.
I think it is Centromochlus punctatus as well on picture 3 and 4

Hm, difficult to feed I guess...

Ituglanis is not that carnivorous imo. I kept them for a long time in a SA community-tank and they were friendly.
Ochmacanthus however is, as far as I know, quite parasitic.

Possibly Ochmacanthus

Hi, I think it's a member of the Trichomycteridae.

It has been a while since a picture has been posted here.
Let's bring a little life back in this old topic.

I bought 5 Tatia gyrina. 2 males and 3 females.
