Currently we have one of the most beautiful of the large tetras in stock: Myleus
schomburgkii. The magnificent species reaches up to 45 cm in total length, our
specimens have the ideal size of 5-7 cm. The photos of the juveniles illustrating
this entrance are made from our specimens in stock, while the adults have been
photographed in a public aquarium.

In contrast to many other species of silver dollars identification of Myleus
schomburgkii is quite easy. It is the only species that has a vertical black stripe
on the body. However, shape and size of that stripe differ in specimens from
different localities so it is possible that more than one species is currently lumped
under the name of M. schomburgkii.

Sexes cannot be distinguished in juveniles externally, but can be very easily
distinguished in adults. In all Myleus species adult males develope a two-lobed anal
fin. In M. schomburgkii the males moreover develope filiformous extensions of the
dorsal fin rays. Mating males become splendid red.

These close relatives of the piranhas feed mainly on plant material. Exactly like
piranhas Myleus schomburgkii establish a hierarchy. The species is one of the most
attractive inhabitants of large aquaria one can think of.

For our customers: the fish have code 270503 on our stocklist. Please note that we
exclusively supply the wholesale trade.

Lexicon: Myleus: after the ancient Greek term for "millstone". schomburgkii:
dedication name for the important German naturalist and explorer Robert Hermann
Schomburgk (1804-1865).

Suggestion of a common name: Blackbanded pacu

L239, Ancistrinae gen. sp. Blue 

 
<http://www.aquariumglaser.de/backend/FCK/UserFiles/Image/News-Pics/2011/kw%2013%2020
11/L239-portrait.jpg> 

We received a shipment of this very nice Pleco from Venezuela. The species becomes
only 10-12 cm long. The blue iridescent fins look extremely attractive, but also the
remaining parts of the body are blue-blackish coloured.

It was not possible so far to place the species in an existing genus and also the
species seems to be undescribed yet. Once the fish are settled they are hardy and
long-living. They have been even bred successfully in aquaria. Sexually mature males
develope many odontodes ("whiskers" and on the pectoral spines). The species feeds
mainly on plant material. Like many other species from the upper Orinoco L236 prefers
a slightly warmer water than usual (26-28°C).

Pelvicachromis taeniatus Nigeria Yellow

This is another, extreme beautiful variety of that gorgeous dwarf cichlid from
Western Africa: Pelvicachromis taeniatus "Nigeria Yellow". Initially the animal
originates from the surroundings of the Nigerian city of Lagos, but we have in stock
fully grown adult bred ones. The bright golden breast and the very long finnage make
Pelvicachromis taeniatus "Nigeria Yellow" real eye catchers.

For our customers: the fish have code 562314 on our stocklist. Please note that we
exclusively supply the wholesale trade.

Lexicon: Pelvicachromis: Latin, means about "Chromis with a specially coloured
pelvis"; Chromis is an old catch-all name for perches. taeniatus: Latin, means
"striped".

Common name: makes no sense, the fish is commonly known by enthusiasts as the
"taeniatus Nigeria yellow".
