First import!
Crenicichla zebrina arrived

This pike cichlid was discovered only in 2002 and described scientifically in 2008.
It originates from the lower Ventuari river, the largest tributary of the upper
Orinoco in Venezuela. The Ventuari is a clearwater river. Although the Ventuari river
is rather good sampled, the describers of that unique species were not able to obtain
more than two specimens of Crenicichla zebrina for their scientific research.

Many setbacks
Although both the original description and the internet presented so far only
pictures of preserved or dying specimens (the pictures illustrating this entrance are
so far the only existing ones that show the normal life coloration of the species):
we guessed that Crenicichla zebrina should be an extreme beautiful species! Sadly all
efforts and expeditions we sponsored to collect this fish failed for more than two
years. Either accidents happened or diseases appeared or the weather played dirty
tricks on the expedition - we were driven almost to dispair.

Happy end
But finally we were successful. On March 16th, 2011 six healthy and lively specimens
landed in Frankfurt. All of them are extreme beautiful. The fish have a length of
about 15 cm up to about 30 cm. They fully reward us for all the sorrow and dispair we
had to go through to get them.

For our customers: the fish have code 67405 on our stocklist. Please note that we
exclusively supply the wholesale trade.

Lexicon: Crenicichla: ancient Greek, means "Cichla with a comb"; Cichla is another
genus of cichlid. zebrina: latinized after the zebra, due to the striped pattern.

Suggestion of a common name: Firemouth pike cichlid

Ancistomus sp. L243/LDA86 

 
<http://www.aquariumglaser.de/backend/FCK/UserFiles/Image/News-Pics/2011/kw%2012%2020
11/Peckoltia-sp-L243.jpg> 

Recently we received the very nice, only rarely imported species of Ancistomus, which
was given the numbers L243 and LDA86, respectively. The species is not described
scientifically yet. Like most Ancistomus the species reaches a maximum length of
about 15-20 cm and is thus a medium sized species of the family. Ancistomus feed
mainly on Aufwuchs and can be fed easily in the aquarium with most of the usual types
of fishfood.

Ancistomus breed quite easily in home aquaria. The sexes can be distinguished by the
shape of the pectoral and ventral fins (larger and with more acute tips in males);
the males are moreover more elongate and develop a lot of odontodes. By far more
important than the water chemistry seems to be that the water is relative warm, over
28°C.

For our customers: the fish have code 26480-L 243 on our stocklist. Please note that
we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.

Lexicon: Ancistomus: compound of the generic names Ancistrus and Hypostomus; both are
similar genera of loricariid catfish. odontodes: skin teeth, spiny structures that
can be observed usually even with the bare eye.

Peckoltia sp. LDA61 "Morruda" (L140/L202/LDA57/LDA79)

11/Peckoltia-sp-LDA61-Bogota-1.jpg> 

We received this nice pleco from Colombia. It is one of the most undemanding plecos
at all. The species reaches about 12 cm maximum length. This species has such a
variable coloration that a lot of L- and LDA-numbers were given to it. The animals
imported now with the additional name "Morruda" (spanish, means "blobber-lipped")
look most like LDA61, a number which was initially given to that species for
specimens from the rio Tapajós in Brazil. To the best of our knowledge this species
of Peckoltia is not described scientifically yet.

For our customers: the animals have code 26480-LDA 061 on our stocklist. Please note
that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.

Lexicon: Peckoltia: Named after Gustavo Peckolt, member of the Natural History
Commission of Rondon.

It is been a quite long time since we had the last importation of this bushfish from
the D. R. Congo. Immediately after their arrival the animals had an unbelievable
strong coloration. Sadly it bleached out a bit over the time, but still looks great.

Lexicon: Ctenopoma: ancient Greek, means "comb cover", referring to the spines along
the operculum. acutirostre: Latin, means "with a pointed snout".

Common name: Leopard bushfish
