Hi Gert,

Damn, I had the hope of the export of a Neoplecostominae species.
Otherwise I think there is unfortunately no Neoplecostominae species permitted for export in Brazil. Is there any (fish) species with a southern brazilian distribution permitted for export? I don't think so. :YMTONGUE:

Hi Gertbl,

Do you actually keep Pareiorhina rudolphi?
Thats great!
From where do you got them?

Hi,

There are some undescribed Pseudohemiodon species comming from Peru (not only sp. I and sp. II).
But they all have nearly the same type of habitat in common.
You can find them at the sandy shelves of white water streams around Iquitos.

BTW: Rio Itaya isn't a clearwater stream at all.

Hi Jools,

We caught A. ucayalensis in Rio Itaya around 1/2 day upstream from Carretera Iquitos-Nauta.

Hi Steve,

Hi Niels,

The largest adolescent fry is about 8,5cm.
It is an offspring from august/september.
In some few weeks I will put them to the adults and hope for a female.

Hi Steve,

I think this species will be the same as shown in the third picture of Pseudohemiodon sp`peru_i` .
It differs to "Peru I" by colour pattern and body height. "Peru I" and "Peru II" are extremly flattened, this species not.
Do you have some other pictures, specially from the head in dorsal ...

Hi Steve,

Yes!
First, the colour pattern. There is a distinctive dark body crossing band at the dorsal fin at "Peru II" (badly visible at the pictures here). In general the colour pattern of "Peru I" differs to the colour pattern of Peru "II". "Peru II" often shows a dark net whereas "Peru I" just ...

If anyone can help me with the following publication I would be deeply grateful.

Thank you Rupert - that was very helpful!

Hi,

Hi Niels,

Important for young apithanos is some food two times daily and especially a very good water quality!
I raised some fry of P. apithanos to a size a currently 7-8cm (pictures of the fry in this thread).
Unfortunately my female died, so currently I am looking for a/some females (if anyone ...

Very nice, Niels!

Hi,

Picture #13 is indeed .
It was the very only specimen of a group showing this short head.
This was caused by raising with bad conditions.

If I am not wrong, I think picture #15 was labeled at facebook as .

Hi Jools & Mats,

is the same fish like LG6 - .

Hi,

I need some pictures (resolution as high as your cam will support) of LG6/ Loricariinae sp(1) in ventral or lateral view.
Unfortunately the pictures in the cat-e-log doesn't show the fish completely or just with a bad resolution.
This is for a small project where I will keep you up to date when ...

Hi Cathy,

That would be very nice!

Time for hatching is passed, whats about the fry?

Hi Cathy,

I know about the problems selling or just sharing Loricariinae in general and specially Spatuloricaria and other species of large size.
I would like to get some offsprings.

Norman

Hi Cathy,

Do you have to possibility to separate the fry after hatching for example in a nursery or raising tank?
It would be a pity if the fry would be food for Crenicichla & Co.

Hi Shane,

Wildcaughts are mostly argentinian or peruian species.
Next to the imports there are some poeple breeding some different species for trade.

Norman

Hi Cathy,

It looks very good!
It seems hatching will occur the next few days.
Whats about the predators? Do you remove them from the tank or do you separate the guarding male carefully?

Norman

Hi,

It depends on the species of Chaetostoma.
For species of the lower land (which are most common in trade) this temperature would be too cold.
In the opposite this temperature would be fine for the species of the mountain streams.

so long
Norman

Hi,

I agree with Rupert, it could be H. eigenmanni


95% of the Hemiloricaria in the trade is this species
This is a point I don't agree. Eventually it depends on the country, but H. eigenmanni isn't very common in the trade in germany. More often you'll find some undescribed species.

Hi Cathy,

Mike Meuschke (aka Mike Hemmann) wrote about nearly 2 weeks (12 to 14 days) until hatching.

Hi Cathy,

Next to FB, also here a Congratulation with crossed fingers!
It seems the flat stone with the eggs is directly streamed with a high oxygenic water current, isn't it?
This would match with all other breedings of Spatuloricaria I heared.

3 weeks after hatching the fry reach about 3cm

With about 2 weeks the fry measures around 25mm.

Right, its synomized with I. steinbachi by Rodriguez et al.

Hi Steve,

That should be a propably undescribed Hemiloricaria species. I don't know anything comparable of this region.

Norman

Okay, thanks! I'll ask Jools.

That should be a undescribed species (from Peru), so would call it Pseudohemiodon sp. "peru".
