Thanks very much for confirmation of the genus and suggestions on species identity! I will try to make better focused images and maybe species will be clearer.
DM

Hi All,
I bought these as Hara horai more than a year ago. But they look like Pseudolaguvia . Finally I did some images (not very sharp unfortunately but hopefully sufficient for identification of the genus at least) and would like to hear opinions on genus (if possible species) identity.
Thank you ...

It is from India. Eating meaty food like bloodworms or chopped earthworms for sure.

I have right now C. candiru of about 17-18 cm housed together with C. parma of about 17-18 cm. Both are together for more than 1.5 years and so far no problems. Each hides under their own one half of the big flower pot most of the time. Very rarely, usually when disturbed, they hide under the same ...

Just wanted to share a couple of pics of my new rarity. Pictures are far from the best but that's all I managed so far.

Thanks for the comments, paper and use of the images! I will try to get a picture of the anal fin. Will keep you updated.

Cheers,
DM

Hi All,

Just wanted share images of the rarity I received yesterday. This is from Hainan Island of China. Around 20 cm.

Many thanks, Jools! The specimens of Amiidae look strikingly similar. Though the color pattern is somewhat different - mine have longitudinal stripe and larger dorsal spots - but as you have mentioned this may be the individual or geographic variation of the same species.

I have checked ...

Hi All,

I have just receives 3 of these trichomycterid cats. I suspect they are Trichomycterus . The origin is Rio San Juan, Choco Dept, Colombia. The largest specimen is about 130 mm. Search here showed T. spilosoma known from there.

I would greatly appreciate any opinion on genus and species ...

Hi All,
Just today I received 2 of these cats. I'd guess they are Trichomycterus but little is behind of this guess. Seller told me they are from Peru. My images are far from being good because I was not able to capture them showing full length (caudal fin is distorted because my jar has rounded ...

Many thanks, Eric! You truly did a job digging through uncertainties of Microglanis systematics.
Answering to your question: yes, I bought both at the same time. That was back in 2015... Interestingly, all (about 7) specimens at the store were like the one I've pictured and only one that looked ...

Hi All,
I have had two Microglanis specimens for several years. One looks similar to M. iheringi , but the second one (on image) has a bit different pattern of coloration. Though I am not sure how variable the pattern within the species is. I would appreciate any opinion on its identity.
Thanks,
DM

Huge thanks Jools and Silurus!
Jools, you may use images for this species. They are not perfect but at least something. I think I did a better one for that blackish specimen (last in row). Will send.
DM

Hi All,
I've just received these catfishes. They are very small: 23 mm and less. From Peru - no exact locality. I would appreciate any guesses on family, genus, species.
Thanks ahead,
DM
P.S. Pics are not great but that's all I was able to get so far.

Yes, only after clearing the cache that glitch has gone.
Thanks!
DM
P.S. By the way I have a pic of my Leptorhamdia marmorata that could be used too.

Jools,
In Cetopsis candiru profile one of the thumbnail images is wrong (Pareiodon microps - the one you have removed).
Cheers,
DM

Great! Thank you! Yes, you can use my pics freely.
Cheers,
DM

Hi All,
It looks like in Cat-eLog we have 2 images of Pareiodon microps (Trichomycteridae) that were identified and placed in Cetopsis candiru (Cetopsidae). Both images copyrighted by Chris Ralph. Please check me if I am correct. Attached are images of my P. microps and C. candiru . It happens I ...

Thanks to everybody for the input and suggestions!
I like the idea of Silurus that it is Leptorhamdia . Moreover I would guess that it is Leptorhamdia marmorata . The size and distribution fit. Plus my fish looks identical to the image of L. marmorata in http://silurus.acnatsci.org/ACSI/field ...

Hi All,
Just received this absolutely great fish. The guess is that it is a heptapterid cat. It was collected in Rio Ventuari and is about 4 inches long. I would appreciate if anyone can help to identify it at least to the genus level.
Thanks ahead,
DM
P.S. Pictures are not the best and hopefully I ...

Thanks for your replies! I have looked on the images of those Tetragonopterus species and they don't look like mine tetras. Color and eye size (?) are different. Originally I was thinking on some species of Moenkhausia but couldn't find a match. Now I am thinking that it might be a species of ...

Hi! Today is not a catfish related question, if possible. A week ago I obtained a group of nice characins and was wondering on their identity. They fairly large, around 6-7 cm. No details on origin. I would appreciate if anyone from catfish community could help to id them or refer to the resource ...

Thanks, Viktor!!! (Спасибо, Виктор!!!)

Thanks, Dave! I was suspecting that it is a hard to id one.

Hi all! Saw this fish for sale in online store. Looks interesting but have no clue on species (honestly is not sure on family either: Pimelodidae? or maybe Bagridae). Was wondering what it is and how big it'll get. I would appreciate any help of experts!!! Cheers, DM.

I am leaning towards Micronema cheveyi at the moment...

Would my specimens be Ompok rhadnurus too? I guess these came from Thailand since they were sold as Thailand false glass catfish. Thanks, DM P.S. Could they be Micronema species or Kryptopterus species? Is there any id key to the genera of Siluridae? I would appreciate a reference or a copy. P.P.S ...

Huge thanks!!!

Just bought these cats as "striped glass catfish". One I think is a species of Pseudeutropius, second, I guess, is Kryptopterus. I think Kryptopterus came as contaminant with ?Pseudeutropius. I have K. macrocephalus and this doesn't look like them. I would greatly appreciate expert opinion on family ...

Hi! If anyone can help me to at least tentatively id the Glyptothorax that would be great. Unfortunately there are no origin data. Thanks ahead, DM
