yes i agree, there still is a lot to learn about the L010a. this friend of mine now has 23 juveniles, in a range from 1 cm at birth up till 2,5 cm (1 inch). interestingly, she does not use a heater, so the temp is variable, between 19 and 22 degrees celsius, rather strange isn't it? she has 5 specim...

thanks for the reply apistomaster. unfortunately you're right, i picked up the pipe today so i could take a look, but there are no eggs :( the male is just cleaning the inside of the pipe and removing snails and sand from it. what a shame. the only thing a do not understand, is why the male doesn't ...

some extra info about the tank: 60x30x30 (cm) internal filtration 400l/h air stone under the echinodorus in the middle, which only runs when the lights are out, because of my plants (co2/o2) temp is around 25 degrees celsius sandy bottom with some black gravel i forgot to mention, the fish in this t...

hi there! i have 3 L010a, one male and two females. i've been feeding them blood worms mostly, and also spirulina flakes, they prefer the bloodworms though. 5 days ago i put some PVC tubes in the tank, and already the male is in one of them for three days now, not even leaving the tube for dinner :l...

i would recommend using spoons instead of forks. glenny, a member of this board has lost an L134 which got chased away from the courgette and swum right into the fork, and died...

is use little thea spoons, like this:

you're absolutely right Jools! the odontodes on the pectoral fins and the back half of the body are very panaque-like indeed the 'spotted pattern' on the head seems more like a broken striped pattern, so this also points to panaque. the first pictures made me think of peckoltia, because of this 'spo...

I recieved some more pictures! here they are: http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z123/KellyHolland/Aqua%208-01-08/P1010011.jpg http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z123/KellyHolland/Aqua%208-01-08/P1010012.jpg http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z123/KellyHolland/Aqua%208-01-08/P1010015.jpg So, what's ...

thanks for the input.

as i said earlier on, this fish is not mine. it swims in Eindhoven in a tank of a friend of mine.

i asked him if he could take more pictures, but he didn't reply.

when i get more pictures, i will post them here!

nice glenn!

are you gonna show us your beautifull plecs too? (L021, L136a, L129, L316, L260 if i'm right?)

grtz Tim

i think your tank is way overstocked!

you got some specimens in there which will grow to at least a 100 cm! that's just cruel...

thanks again.

i will ask this friend of mine if he can make a photo close up of the mouth

to be continued...

thank you for the reply! i forgot to tell you guys, the fish is 5 till 6 cm now, that's like 2 and a bit inches? any other ideas? all of the input is very welcome :wink: my second best guess is peckoltia sp. L387 Peckoltia sp(l387) but i might be on the wrong track, so if you think differently let m...

thanks for the quick reply Jools!

i'm a bit confused now, because of the dotted pattern this fish shows. i always thought that the panaque maccus had more of a striped pattern on the head? this fish clearly has small dots on the head...

are you sure?

the first one, a quick guess, maybe it's corydoras schwartzii.

the second one is clearly corydoras trilineatus.

hi guys, first i'd like to say, you people did a great job on the lay out of this forum! :thumbsup: i have a question for you guys. a friend of mine bought a nice suckermouth catfish for 8 euro's, the shop named it Panaque but i don't think it is a panaque, i think it's a peckoltia, and more specifi...

it looks like a peckoltia to me, but which one?

i think it is L066 or maybe L333

i am keeping my 7 jerdoni's in a 80 litre tank, with a pair apistogramma borellii opal and 10 youngsters and some boraras maculatus. the apisto's never harass the jerdoni's, they don't even notice them! i feed the jerdoni's with artemia eggs and small bloodworms. the biggest one is now over 3,5 cm (...

nice fishroom!

i suspect this is L032



[mod edit: Use persistant Cat-eLog link -- Mats]

yes it's hara jerdoni. i have this species for more than a year now. i think your fish is very skinny! you can see the bones through the skin

i think the oxygen levels are low in your tank. try to add an air stone for more dissolved oxygen, especially at night when your aquatic plants take as much o2 as they need to make it through the night.

do you add co2 to your tank?

huge waterchanges often give unexpected results!

congrats

they can grow up to 50 cm! so make sure your tank is big enough

yes that helps, i have this thermometer too. that means the temp is around 26 or 27 degrees celsius. i don't think the cause of dead is related to this temperature. maybe it has to do with digestion system? did the cory have a very filled belly? did you noticed parasites around the anal area? did yo...

it looks a bit similar indeed, but my fish has golden stripes and a dark black body, so i believe it's L204. i don't have a close up of the mouth, because the fish is very shy and never sits on the glass unfortunately. he is always near or on a piece of wood.

thanks for the reply's!

thanks. i'm positive it's pardalis now. he loves to chew on courgette and blood worms, and he's really not shy or territorial!

the other two are correctly identified?

hi there! i am new to this forum. use the database for quite a long time now, just love this site, lots of information! i decided to join the forum so i can learn more about catfishes, and particulary about loricariidae, because i really love them!! :D my name is Tim, 22 years of age and living in t...
