Hopefully Eric

You did the spawning
Hope to see you again sometime.

HI Eric

Again, congratulations on your spawning.
Can you guess who I really am?

Interesting; it is nice to have these things sorted out. its been quite a few years since debate was started as to the relationship between these L No's.
Congratulations Ingo Seidel.

There is an article in Shane's World; Reproduction on the spawning of these.

Looks like 2 male and a female, why not have a go at spawning these.

Catchment area would be a help.
At first I thought it was a variant of either C incolincana or C141, but it may? be or a variant of :

hi

Not much information that I can give you; but, I hope this little amount may be of some help.

I once, got some Amblyceps foratum to spawn I had eggs but only three hatched, and the fry subsequently died within 24hrs. (so I class this as a failure to spawn) .

The tank set up was 12"x10"x10 ...

Check out Shanes World and its reproduction articles. Full of very knowledgeable advice and reports.
My advice is to start with relative easily spawned fish from around the world , and observe and learn from those experiences. Gradually your knowledge base will increase over time; but, don't forget ...

Thanks HH

They are the common Albino as you suspected

The other form of 'albino cory' that can be found in our LFS have a longer spine to the dorsal fin and are more blue in hue.

Your fish appears to look OK.

If the rapid breathing continues when the fish is 'unaware' that you are observing it, increase the oxygen intake and try treating for gill flukes.

Welcome to Planet Catfish.

Good auction.
I grabbed a few bargains. Inc:
Parancistrus Xanto, Parailia pellucida and some Akysisidae.
Oh and I won some catfish pellets and a nice bottle of red wine in the Raffle

Maybe

Would love to see the etymology for this one, let's name a catfish from the North with "conspicuously elongated, conical urogenital papilla" after Mike Hardman I'm guessing. Brilliant!

Me thinks maybe
Although; I concede that as Silurus was the scientist who described P muricata as well as other Pseudolaguvia species. You should give predilection to his I.D.

The online sales department said some photos may be outdated, and that they were sure they were A. vespa. I wasn't able to get photos of the stock from the retailer beforehand... We'll know for sure on Tuesday--I'll take some pictures while they're in a specimen container and perhaps we can get a ...

they look like young to me.

I am after some adult L066, both male and females for a breeding project.
Is there anyone in the North West England around WA7, who is looking to part with theirs. Obviously, I am not after ones that I was offered last year @ £300 for 2 pair, Jeesh, I aint rockerfella, I'm retired :). OH , yes some ...

@Jools,
are they exporting again from Venezuela?

Catchment location may help with identification, nice fish though

YOU must be cod-ing
&
There's a plaice for jokes like these

There are other Malapterus 'sp' that look similar to M electricus, like a catchment location or country of export would be a help in narrowing down which species your catfish is.

Are we in the right forum ?

There isn't a great deal more that I can add to my breeding report in Shane's World.
However; I found that conditioning on live foods such as newly hatched brineshrimp, microworm, grindal worm and small daphnids 3X daily as per report, along with good water management is a must. Also, the 'adults ...

A hard question that can not be answered with any degree of certainty.
These catfish eat a variety of things and are an omnivore. From shell fish to seeds and the like. It may well be that as migratory fish their diet may change depending on season and activity. In the dry seasons it can be assumed ...

you weren't on your own Jools, I thought it was a Mystus like species,

Have you checked in the Cat-eLog?

Present size (SL) may help and any catchment location. Whip tails either Sturisoma or Sturisomatichthys species can be a tad difficult to properly identify from alone photograph. Photographs of the ventral surface can also help with identity.
My inkling though is towards
