Yes indeed; many thanks

today I placed mine spinipterus to an another tank

I had originally posted about these back in November, 2014. Bought 6 of these from Ted Judy as Tatia cf. galaxias. The first pic is shortly after arrival. The remainder were taken today of the fish on the right. 3 have grown into what look like intermedia, the other 3 look like the pics below. The spots on the body have completely disappeared and only remain on the tail. SL is 115mm.

It is Spring and love is in the air! Or in this case, water!

Interesting! I bought some very similar fish from Ted (small intermedia-complex Tatia), but they have barely grown at all in the 10 months that I've had them. They started out at about 3cm SL, and now they're still about 3-4cm SL.

Sorry for breaking my promise, but Jeremy, this is mating, not spawning. Once the eggs have been fertilized, the female will spawn in a week or so.

Thanks

?

my best guess anyway and I'm only going off the one Clog picture and the caudal fin appears damaged

Very cool fish!

Agreed! What size is the fish (just the one?) What size tank, and what is it feeding on?
More pics!
Thanks

My first thought was , but now I do agree with the first ID. Nice find!

Been a while since anyone has touched this thread.

Currently I have and .

The perugiae spawned twice in the last month; I moved the eggs to a 10 gal with a bunch of cory eggs and little cory fry, but I never saw any oil cats hatch. Next time I have to go back to my old habit of hatching eggs in a dedicated egg tank. To this day, I believe all my orca are females, so I need to source a male.

Anybody else want to report?

Cheers, Eric

My Tatia strigata seem to be going strong. 4 spawns in the last month! Centromochlus perugiae also keep on producing. Hopefully the rest of the woodcats get with it!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dZtZ2Plbl8

Hi Jeremy,

I see you're bringing some to Catfish Cataclysm. Those will be a choice catch for someone... who knows? Maybe me.

Cheers, Eric

It has been a while since a picture has been posted here.
Let's bring a little life back in this old topic.

I bought 5 Tatia gyrina. 2 males and 3 females.

@kruseman, how are your T. gyrina doing? Any spawning from them?

It turns out your finder's luck was mine yesterday: I came upon a group of six Tatia at a LFS (I think they're ), three females, one male, and a couple of immature subadults. Had to get them all.

Now my list of currently kept auchenipterids is:

• Auchenipterichthys coracoideus
  (actively spawning)
• Centromochlus orca
• Centromochlus perugiae
• Spinipterus sp(1)
• Tatia gyrina

Sadly I lost the .

Cheers, Eric

Put these in a tank with dead leaves. That's some great camouflage... Not that the fish disappeared amonst the leaves, but the midlateral line, which looks so obvious in a bare tank, suddenly becomes the dark central petiole of a dead leaf. This fish is crafty!

Cheers, Eric

They're doing fine, but no spawning. I think I need to provide them with softer water probably.

Nice to see you have a group now. Good luck with them, they're the best!

It's been a while since I posted here, but today I received two pairs of , so I thought I'd update my list:

• Auchenipterichthys coracoideus
  (breeding group of about 10 fish)
  
  Duringlanis perugiae
  (2 old males and 6 new additions)
  
  Spinipterus moijiri
  (2 pairs; no spawns yet)
  
  Tatia gyrina
  (3 males)
  
  Tatia orca
  (2 males)
  
  Trachelyichthys exilis
  (2 pairs)

On the T. exilis I got today, they are good sized, the largest about 6cm SL. One of the smaller fish was almost pure yellow in the shipping bag, while the other three were pigmented normally. I was disappointed to see the yellow fish had regained color (but still yellow in its base) only a few hours later. Oh well...

I never would have imagined I would be keeping so many. Such neat fish!

Cheers, Eric

Supercool is this the longest running thread on here?

It might!

After being infected myself as well with Mycobacterium marinum ( aquariumgranuloma) I had to euthanise my Tatia gyrina.

My exilis spawned! viewtopic.php?f=7&t=49283. I hope there's more than one egg.

Cheers, Eric

These are some of my Balroglanis macracanthus that I've been keeping for a while now.

Oooh, nice. Can we use the photos on the CLOG page?

Cheers, Eric

Sure but is it good enough?

kruseman wrote: ↑06 Oct 2020, 21:35Sure but is it good enough?

Well, we'd certainly appreciate better photos, but these are pretty good. Besides, have you seen the pic we have? That fish is skinny!

Cheers, Eric

Mine are pigs.

I'll try to take some better ones.

Awesome, get in!

Hello,

I thought that I would resurrect this topic as I am now keeping 3 sp.
1. . Breeding group, many spawns
2. New group 5 (2M, 3F)
3. New group (2M, 4F)

Any input on breeding the gyrina or T.exilis?

Thanks
