Can I see your dwarf giraffe.

There are catfish from 3 genus that I know of that are called / can be called dwarf giraffe catfish.
I'd recommend doing a search on
Yellowcat
posts for instance for both highly useful info and visuals.
We only had a "dwarf" giraffe catfish Auchenoglanis sp. "Volta", of which I could post pics. But they are all in our giraffe catfish thread of ours: https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/posts/7638591

Notoglanidium macrostoma is the one I’m wondering about. I did see that thread and I watched the video too. Can’t find to much on themThere are catfish from 3 genus that I know of that are called / can be called dwarf giraffe catfish.

Catfish with flesh/bone disease?
I recently acquired (3 weeks ago) some African Dwarf Giraffe catfish, 2 species. One of them, a notoglanidium macrostoma, showed what appears to be some kind of skin and bone flesh eating disease? It went all the through the gill plate and exposed the gills. Her respiration was rapid (no...

Dwarf Giraffe Cat
Hi. I have always wanted a giraffe catfish and I happened upon aqua-imports and I saw they had a dwarf giraffe cat. I'm not sure what it exactly is genetics wise. If anyone knows anything about them or has any tips please let me know. Here is the link to the catfish -...

Flatnose ID pls
Dave does have a point, with the video it's hard to examine all the morphology required to truly determine the species and a second guess from me would be notoglanidium macrostoma which also have rows of vertical dots or dots combined with vertical bars but the adipose fin is longer and higher...

New Year, New Changes...
First is sad news, lost my rare Batrochoglanis cat, 'Big Boy'. Had him for almost 6 years, an unidentified Peruvian species. Got him @ 5" and he grew to 11" over time. Very shy and reclusive, for years feeding exclusively on feeder goldfish until last year when he would come up out of his chunk...

African Catfish Ideas
Hey guys and gals I'm looking to make an African bio type. I already have some ropefish and am looking to get some African leaf fish, and an African brown knifefish. I also need a (or preferably some) catfish for the bottom. They would obviously need to be from Africa and be able to live in a...

One interesting thing to note...which is probably not helpful...is that all of the live photographs of N. macrostoma on planetcatfish are not really that species. The true N. macrostoma has a much flatter, wider head than those fish, which you can see on these preserved specimens:
That said, I'm not really sure which species is in the photographs.

If I recall correctly, some of those pics are of
Yellowcat
's specimen(s), which leads me to think they must be correct but I maybe confusing them with Parauchenoglanis of his?On PCF, many of the pic's of parauchenoglanis species are mine but none of the notoglanidium are mine, however I think most of them shown are correct though that species is easily confused with some parauchenoglanis types as juveniles. I do have 2- N. Macrostoma cats, never bothered to photo them as they're somewhat common, unlike any parauchenoglanis species that are very rare in the trade anymore. Wet Spot Tropical fish has 'em in stock right now. They are very shy and nocturnal, easy to keep, eat pellets and such, don't see mine for weeks at a time..
Decided not to get these dwarfs and got 2 regular giraffe cats. Thanks for the info
