Hi all,
I have a couple of pairs of Leporacanthicus cf. galaxias`venezuela`and one of the males is currently fanning eggs in a clay pipe which all have heads and tails. The problem is they live in a predatory cichlid tank so I'd like to remove the youngsters before they are fully mobile and start to ...

Thanks for that link, thats a great paper to have to hand

I'll get a macro lense on the camera and take some better shots, try and get the humeral process in more detail.

So the original estimate of 4 species by the exporter maybe right.

The top fish has the same long head and 'slinky' body proportions.
The body on these is reminiscent of petricola but not ...

Hi all,
I recently imported some wild Lake Tanganyikan Synodontis.
They came in as mixed species from Crocodile Island, Zambia.

This one I suspect is a large female?
