Oh thanks

I"m looking for some Lepthoplosternum pectorale,

anyone in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdonm breeding or selling these...

give me a sign ;)

The tubes are fine.
All 3 rhinodoras are hiding in them.
Sometimes they move from tube to tube.
Wonderfull to see them coming out with their heads to eat.

It doesn't make a difference care or feeding, but FWIW, I think this is probably Rhinodoras boehlkei .

This can surely be, looking at the drawings or is there another reason why you think this?

Then they also could be at their maximum length 135mm, maybe a bit more now.
The region they ...

I just saw there is at least one in a tube, another one is a bit higher beneath some wood, the 3rd one is a question.
Yesterday i just took a picture of one before they where hidden, because te next time i see them during daylight can be rare.

Yes, I mean open tubes (or square tubes) the key thing being they can swim in and out from both sides. Typically they just like sitting in share under wood but pipes will do. I used terracotta pipes about 3" diameter and 3 or 4 times the length of the fish.

Ok.... so actually putting a bottom beneath those would be better or does it have to be round?

I'm expecting 3 Rhinodoras dorbignyi.

Today, I made some shelter....
Would this be good? They are around 13cm now.

Very nice species, phase 2 coming now i believe?
Do you still keep it from 24 to 26°C during the whole year?

I got this from Panta Rhei in Germany,
About a year ago Jens Gottwalt did an import from an Argentinian exporter.

In this import there where also other hypostomus,
one was Hypostomus regani
The only reason this one is called Hypostomus sp. 'Uruguay' is because it came from Uruguay(offcourse ...

Just a picture of my hypostomus sp. Uruguay

Ok then.
But where is it cought? I believe Iguacu is huge?
But I have read a topic from someone else who has a hypostomus from Iguacu and it came from iguacu in Argentinia.
Are the myersi allways cought in that same lake?
I need to know because i have a subtropic tank where i want to keep a ...

Hypostomus Iguaza, could this be Myersi from Rio Iguaçu ?
