Barbucca diabolica

Currently we managed to import one of the cutest loaches from Borneo for the
first time. Barbucca diabolica is despite its terrifying name a totally
peaceful animal. Sadly almost nothing is known about the species. In nature,
it lives in small forest streams in the Kapuas system on Borneo. Our animals
are already a bit larger than the largest specimen mentioned in the original
description, which had about 2,5 cm.

It is very interesting to observe the behaviour of the fish. They are
scooting along the surface of a root, rock or whatever without ever leaving
it with the belly. This is why the are called „scooter loaches“. They feed
on any fine food. It is very important to know that this loach will never
pick food from the water column. They only feed on food which  they come
across during their restless „scoots“.

Lexicon: Barbucca: means „with a bearded cheek“; this refers to the
tuberculate cheek patches of the males. diabolica: diabolical; refers to red
shining eyes of the species.

Pangasius bocourti

202009/bocourti1.jpg> 

Shark catfishes have received their common name according to their swimming
behaviour, which is very similar to the way several species of shark do
swim. Similar to sharks is also that the fishes do permanently swim and only
seldom take a rest.Nowadays they are also well known by their scientific
genus name, eg Pangasius, because these fishes are subject of intense
aquaculture in Southeast Asia. So their very tasty and boneless filets can
be found in almost any foodstore even in Europe.

All species of Pangasius are large to very large growing fishes. Thus they
fit on a long time sight only for show aquaria. Here they can live several
decades. P. bocourti belongs to the medium sized species, its maximum
reported length is approx. 120 cm. The very attractive fish can be
distinguished from their congeneers in the trade quite easily by the white
bordered caudal fin.

Lexicon: Pangasius: from a native name of the type species of the genus,
Pangasius pangasius, which lives in the Ganges river in India. bocourti: in
honour for Marie Firmin Bocourt (1819 – 1904), a french zoologist and
artist.

Trichopsis schalleri „Vietnam“ 

 
<http://www.aquariumglaser.de/backend/FCK/UserFiles/Image/News-Pics/kw%2029%
202009/schalleri%20viet1.jpg> 

The genus Trichopsis (Croaking gouramis) currently comprises three accepted
species: T. vittata, T. pumila, and T. schalleri. This hardly reflects the
reality. Especially T. vittata seems to be catch-all species and represents
a number of undescribed species.

 
<http://www.aquariumglaser.de/backend/FCK/UserFiles/Image/News-Pics/kw%2029%
202009/schalleri%20viet2.jpg> 

Trichopsis schalleri was known so far from Thailand only. We now get this
pretty species also from Vietnam. This population is a bit smaller than
their congeneers from Thailand and reminds one very much on the Croaking
dwarf gourami (T. pumila). 

The males have very nice orange-red finnage with lots of iridescent blue
spots.All Croaking gouramis like to be kept in soft to moderately hard
water, a slightly acidic pH and a well planted tank with peaceful tankmates.
They readily take any live, frozen or dried food of an appropriate size.

Lexicon: Trichopsis: the name reflects the similarity to the gouramis of the
genus Trichogaster. vittata: striped; pumila : dwarfish; schalleri: in
honour for Dietrich Schaller, who discovered the species.
