The "add to My Cats" button is located at the top of the species page near the species name. you must be logged on to see the button.

Have a look at CW116 and CW098. Let me know if you bring them in please.

IMO this is an instance of "lumpers" vs "spliters" and personally feel that if you have a catch location you should keep it pure.

In a tank that size and wanting tight groups I'd go with like 30-50 Pygmeaus

I picked up

Wild CW016 to add to my breeders
Some LDA08
Some C091
Some L066 Vitoria
Some C. Robustus

Along with others.

Above all I had a great time !!! Great job MAAH!!!

I also figured we'd put the images back into the article..... they are under the species. Otherwise I can resend them

I've done several of the dwarf species and a couple Aspidoras, the only time I've had success was with the addition of some current be it sponge filter or powerhead.

Last year I did Aspidoras spilotus and A. sp C118 in different 55g tubs with a powerhead and hornwart very successfully. Spilotus was ...

I would also include what the different codes mean

My cats species list: 77 (i:6, k:28)My aquaria list: 23 (i:12)My BLogs: 6 (i:5, p:169)

it took me some time to figure that out.

it's in Amazonas English version Vol 3 Number 1.

here is a link referenced in the write up.

This phenomenon is not unheard of. Amazonas had an article about it, it's not limited to just one species or genus and the reason is still unknown if I recall correctly.
Is the fish in this photo ( image.php?image_id=16341 , Rhinelepis strigosa ) experiencing the same decoloration, or is this the ...

This phenomenon is not unheard of. Amazonas had an article about it, it's not limited to just one species or genus and the reason is still unknown if I recall correctly.

If the behavior is fine I wouldn't worry. Keep photographing the fish, it may slowly revert back to its original colors.

cf. Literally means "confer." An animal appears similar to an identified species, but without certainty or confirmation.

If you are referring to your reds, they are a selectively bred tank strain, not a wild type fish, so no ...

The true "L333" as it is quite variable, has kinda become a gray area. Many fish from the Xingu are all lumped into the L333 name, only time will tell what's what.

This article should give you an idea of why it's so confusing. http://www.reef2rainforest.com/2014/04/05/chaos-in-black-white/

Have you considered adding the whole lot to the 75g? I'm not sure what your stock levels are like but the larger the tank and group the more impressive it is. Corys are a very social fish and the bigger the group the more active they will be.

I never fast the fish unless away on vacation or plan on shipping them in the next few days.

Exceptions would be experimenting trying to trigger a spawn.

Many Ancistrus, Peckoltia, Ancistomus, and Hypancistrus all breed readily in the aquarium and are great for getting your feet wet.

I don't believe they have been looked at close enough genetically to make that determination. Their is considerable variation amongst the L136 as it is that needs to be sorted without adding L262 to the mix. Until described I would keep everything separate.

Females have some bristles on the lips, but if they are up the center of the head toward the eyes it is male. Impossible to tell with the photo provided

They are all elegans types.... Unfortunately this type seems to be coming in as a mixed bag quite often. And to make matters worse, I'm 90% confident one of Florida farms is creating and distributing elegans type hybrids. I'll let someone who has more experience with the elegans types toss out ...

L004 would only get mixed in in with northern species L201 or Hypancistrus contradens at importers, which is unlikely, so it's much more likely that your fish is H. lunaorum . Just on stats / export area.

That was my thoughts on this

D. amazonica has an orange distal edge to the unpaired fins ...

Right, I don't think you'd need to keep all updated logged, only the most current one.

I have three fish I'm trying to definitively ID

I'm looking for suggestions on traits that would distinguish them

The first fish was ordered as Lamontichthys filamentosus but is either Lamontichthys llanero or Lamontichthys stibaros anything I can look for besides the slight size difference?

The ...

With just over four weeks to go all our room allocations are now taken, but there are plenty of 1 or 2 day, day-tickets available.

We would have liked to have had a few of you US guys make the hop over the pond though. We will undoubtedly be rubbing it in after the event, with tails of the ...

albino common bristlenose

The likely source of the problem is probably the large rough substrate.

For most corys digging is a natural behavior as seen in the first picture. The jagged edges of the gravel are likely scratching his nose, which in turn can lead to infection and/or permanent damage.

Even if this is not the ...

Just curious if a category could be added to the "Last update" section of a species profile that could note what was updated. Not specifics, that would be redundant.

Something more along the lines of:
Last Update 2015 Feb 04 13:29 Species information (species record created: 2002 Feb 27 00:00 ...

at a glance I would say Corydoras duplicareus using the rule of thumb on the black band but the band width can be variable. The only way to know for certain is to look for the serrations.

"According to the description C. duplicareus has serrations on the posterior edge of the pectoral fin spine ...

I thought for most "Baitfish" species one only needs a local fishing permit? Perhaps this has changed since I moved south

So what about CatCon makes it so good?

Some of the Pro's of catcon IMO
