Catfish photos from Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia

Post by Iamfish »

Hello Planet Catfish, I do volunteer work in the ichthyology department of ANSP. As some of you may know, ANSP houses a very large collection of catfish, as well as catfish type specimens. I was planning on doing a project of photographing a large number of the catfish that have not been photographed yet, would Planet Catfish be interested in using any of these photos if I posted them here (or I can send them another way too if that works better)?

Yes, I would certainly be interested in that. You could post them here, but emailing them to me (per species?) works too. It is especially the species where we have no photo that is of most value. Let's try a few for starters and see how we go?

Brilliant concept and thanks for thinking of us!

Cheers,

Jools

Sadly did not have time on Friday to take any photos, had to help prepare a ~600 fish loan shipment and give a collections tour. I am back in tomorrow though and should be able to take some.
For the view on the photos, at least for the loricariids, I was planning to do a dorsal view, lateral view, ventral view, and ventral view closeup of the head. Is there any other view that you think would be important?
