Caros colegas,

 

Em relação à " newsletter " da GLASER estamos muito mais avançados.

A very special knifefish reached us currently from Colombia: a golden Apteronotus
leptorhynchus! The species is widespread and common in Colombia and we have the
"Brown Ghost" regularly stocked; but this is the first time ever that we became aware
of a specimen with such an unique coloration.

Copella nattereri and Copella meinkeni

We import quite often from the Rio Negro in Brazil a beautiful tetra of the splashing
tetra group, which has usually five rows of red dots along the flanks. This up to 6
cm long species is known for decades in the hobby under the name of Copella
nattereri.

It took until the year 2006 that the tetra specialists Axel Zarske and Jaques Géry
found out that the species described as Copella nattereri was practically not present
in the hobby and that the red spotted Copella was not known to science yet! So Zarske
and Géry described the long time known Copella finally as Copella meinkeni.

The "real" Copella nattereri is also an extremely beautiful fish, which we can offer
currently from Peru. Once one has seen the fish alive it is almost impossible to
confuse it with C. meinkeni. In C. nattereri there is a black band along the flanks
that contains only one row of relatively large, deep red spots.

Both Copella species are kept best in realtively dark aquaria that should be
decorated with dead leaves, peat and aquatic plants. Here they develope their full
coloration. Basically these fish are peaceful and accept any type of usual fish food.

Males become bigger than the females and have enlarged fins.

For our customers: Copella meinkeni has code 219802, Copella nattereri code 219813 on
our stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.

Lexikon: Copella: means "small Copeina". Copeina is another genus of tetra. meinkeni:
dedication name for Hermann Meinken (1896 - 1976), one of the most outstanding German
aquarists of the 20th century.  nattereri: dedication name for Johann Natterer (1787
- 1843), who collected for 18 years animals in South America and discovered many new
species.

Suggestion of common names: Copella menkeni: Red Spotted Copella; Copella nattereri:
Snow White Copella

Barbus manipurensis

Many species of Indian barbs belong to the most popular ornatmental fish at all. This
is due to their brillant colours, the peacefulness and the easy keeping of these
fish. A new species - Barbus manipurensis, which we can offer currently - has the
potential to become also such a evergreen. The fish has been described scientifically
only in 2000. It originates from the Indian state of Manipur. The fish´s name derives
from that state, too. The closest relatives of B. manipurensis are the Red Sunspot
Barb (B. stoliczkanus) and the Odessa or Red Ruby Barb (B. padamya).*

At least the wild collected B. manipurensis, which we offer now, are the smallest of
the three and reach only a total length of 3-4 cm. That makes them an attractive
alternative for aquarists that own only smaller tanks.

Males in breeding coloration cannot be taken for mistake due to the wonderful red
stripe along the body that also led to the popular name of the fish (jasper is an
opaque variety of silicia, which is used as a gemrock, especially the red varieties),
but it is also possible to distinguish the sexes on the basis of another, always
visible feature: the iris of males is bright red, the iris of the female yellowish.

*All mentioned species can also be applied to the genus Puntius.

For our customers: the species has code 370012 on our stocklist. Please note that we
exclusively supply the wholesale trade.

Lexicon: Barbus: Latin, means "the bearded one", referring to the barbels. Puntius:
from the Bengal term "Punti" for such barbs. manipurensis: after the Indian state of
Manipur. stoliczkanus: dedicated to the collector of the species, Ferdinand Stoliczka
(1838-1874). padamya: padamya is the Burmese word for "ruby".

Suggestion of a common name: Red Jasper Barb
