Catfish Photography

Friday, and continuing the loricariidae train after a short cory intermission with this punkelisous catfish with a mohawk, the Dappled Whiptail Catfish (

Rineloricaria melini

)

FYI, this is

Rineloricaria teffeana

, not

Rineloricaria melini

. Very similar, but the spots on R. teffeana are closer together and fit almost like tiles or bricks in a wall or the spots on a giraffe. By contrast, R. melini has more separation between the spots, and the spots have a distinct dark boundary to them, creating an outline effect around each spot.

Cheers Eric!
Always good to get these corrections! I am, as mentioned, mostly a snake/reptile guy and still learning my fish

No problem. R. teffeana and R. melini often get confused on import, either accidentally or intentionally since melini is probably better known.

Cheers,

Took a few hours today to get in some photography at the store, but Haakon had the odacity to not import new plecos (hehehehe), so only one pleco today. But he did have some cool corys tho, which I will work my way through at a later date

First up from todays shoot, Acari Bola Branca (

Spectracanthicus zuanoni

)

Next up is a rather cool, little cory, the Moth Cory (

Hoplisoma sp(cw133)

). Nice way to combine my love for lepidopterids and fish
