Parauchenoglanis Substrate Questions

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Error in spelling, should be Notoglanidium..
 
Very welcome.. BTW the macrostoma u mentioned is not a parauchenoglanis species, it was formerly from the genus anaspidoglanis, and called anaspidoglanis macrostoma, it has since been revised to the genus notogladinium and is now notogladinium macrostoma. These are a smaller species and only grow to around 7". Parauchenoglanis get to 17" of course. One problem is either are often mis-identified and n. macrostoma look very much like p. punctatus and it's hard to tell the difference as juvenile fish. You mentioned you have a source for these fish, cool, they're hard to find. If they are available from your source and do shipping, maybe you could send me a P.M. as I'm always looking for sources to find parauchenoglanis species, one of my fave's to keep...

Well my source is my favorite LFS and their source they get them from is Segrest Farms http://www.segrestfarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=catalog.viewgroup&groupID=103.

Many people don't realize how many rare catfish Segrest commonly have that they just terribly misname.
