We recently received this beautiful dwarf cichlid from Guinea. The species is a close
relative of P. humilis and was known in the hobby as P. sp. "Bandi 1" before its
scientific description.

Maximum size in males is around 10 cm, females stay always smaller. As in almost all
Pelvicachromis there is an extreme sexual dichromatism. Persons that are not educated
in the hobby can easily think that males and females belong to different species. The
spot on the belly of the females looks incredibly; there is already a saying in our
fishhouse that goes like this: "who has put the lamp inside the belly of this fish?"

These fish originate from forest creeks and should be kept at comparatively low
temperatures, around 22 to 24°C, and soft and slightly (!) acidic water. It is
important to offer the fish sand as gravel, for they love to dig.

For our customers: the fish have code 560454 on our stocklist. Please note that we
exclusively supply the wholesale trade.

Lexicon: Pelvicachromis: the Latin word pelvis means "pelvis"; chromis is another
genus of perch; the generic name refers to the coloration of the belly. signatus:
Latin, means "signed". humilis: Latin, means "depressed".

Suggestion of a common name: Bandi dwarf cichlid

Brachyplatystoma juruense

>From Peru we received once more juveniles of the fantastic predatory catfish B.
juruense. Adults of this species attain a maximum length of around 60 cm and have a
very nice, zebra-like striped pattern. The coloration of the body of the juveniles is
very variable. There do exist spotted ones, striped ones or even uniformly dark ones.
All have in common the large, white caudal fin. On the upper lobe of the caudal fin
is a filament that is as long as the body of the fish. Juveniles - the photographed
specimens are 5-8 cm long - are already predators. Sometimes they swim free in the
water column, the head turned upside, against the current. Now the caudal filament
works as a stabilizer, comparable to the tail of a kite. Another, species-specific
behaviour of the fish is to sit on the bottom, braced on the ventral fins and looking
against the water surface. It seems likely that in this position the long tail
filament works as a fishing rod that attracts small fish.

For our customers: the fish have code 211200 (5-8 cm) and 211201 (7-10 cm) on our
stocklist. Please note that we exclusively supply the wholesale trade.

Lexicon: Brachyplatystoma: from ancient Greek, means "short Platystoma"; Platystoma
is another genus of catfish. juruense: after the Rio Jurua, the type locality.

Suggestion of a common name: Gold zebra catfish
