From Brazil we now received a third species under the name of "RED
ITUXI". Obviously the collectors in the field observed that the basic
colour of the fish is by far more reddish-orange than in its congeneers. The
fish has a pattern in the caudal fin, which is quite variable and reminds one
in D. urostriata (in D. longibarbis the caudal fin is completely hyaline).
Despite this the new Dianema differs clearly from the other two species by
the always clearly visible fontanelle (see photos).</span></font></b><o:p></o:p></p>

Keeping the new Dianema is as easy as keeping the other Dianema species.
Dianema are day active, schooling fish that prefer to swim free in the water
column in contrast to most other plated catfish. The fish are extremely
peaceful and feed readily on any type of usual fishfood.</span></font></b><o:p></o:p></p>

Breeding Dianema, on the other hand, is not that easy, as it is quite
difficult to stimulate the fish. In case stimulation was successful, the male
Dianema builds a kind of bubble nest under a broad leaf or so. Here the male
spawns with one or several females. At least under aquarium conditions the
guarding instinct is not very strong. The closely relative Hoplosternum, for
example, jumps without any hesitating in the face of the curious aquarist
that dares to put his nose too close to the nest ...</span></font></b><o:p></o:p></p>

One expects blind species of fish from cave systems or the deep sea. But in
the rapids of the lower Congo river not less than 5 different species of
blind fish exist (among them the only blind species of cichlid of the World,
Lamprologus lethops) - and nobody can explain why these fish are blind. One
of them is Caecomastacembelus brichardi, which we were able to import once
more after many years.</span></font></b><o:p></o:p></p>

The scientific paper, in which the Blind Spiny Eel is described, is
accompanied by a biotope photo. Here one can see large rocks, sometimes
protruding from the water, and it is in crevices among these that the Blind
Spiny Eel prefers to live.<br>

The species grows to about <st1:metricconverter ProductID="15 cm" w:st="on">15
cm</st1:metricconverter> in length (the largest specimen in the type series
was <st1:metricconverter ProductID="11 cm" w:st="on">11 cm</st1:metricconverter>

diet of worms and frozen foods. It is important that the food has a strong
aroma.</span></font></b><o:p></o:p></p>
