The L185 is an impressive, large growing species of Pseudacanthicus (commonly known as cactus plecos) from the rocky, clear, fast-flowing waters of the middle and upper Rio Xingu in Brazil. Territorial and largely carnivorous by nature, this species grows to about 7″ length and requires a fairly large aquarium with lots of cover, especially if they are to be kept with other plecos. They prefer warmer water temperatures (80 – 84F ) and will do best with moderate to strong current.

The L024 or Redfin Cactus Pleco is a colorful and sought after species of heavily armored pleco originating in the Rio Tocantins in Brazil. Like most members of its genus, it is largely a carnivore and prefers protein rich foods. The “Super Red” variant displays intense, vivid reds in the dorsal and pectoral finds and is found only in the waters surrounding the town of Tucurui. In the aquarium, the Redfin Cactus Pleco should be offered ample cover and care should be taken with other bottom dwelling species as they can be territorial. With their large adult size and space requirements, Redfin Cactus Plecos are recommended for experienced hobbyists with large aquariums and heavy filtration.

A unique doradid catfish found in Southern Brazil, the Marbled Thorny Catfish is a peaceful, substrate feeding fish found in areas of moderate to fast water flow. In the wild, it feeds heavily on invertebrates including snails, but will accept most frozen or prepared sinking foods in the aquarium. This species is largely sedentary but is a fast and agile swimmer when necessary so will benefit from a spacious aquarium with plenty of open swimming space.

A medium-growing Pike Cichlid found throughout the Rio Meta and many of its tributaries in Colombia, this species is found alongside and often misidentified as the common “Belly Crawler” Pike, typically in fast-moving water with rocky substrate. With their relatively moderate adult size and less aggressive nature than some of their close relatives, this species is one of the better Crenicichla for a mixed species community aquarium (of similarly sized fish). Like all members of the genus, they are predatory, feeding on smaller fish and invertebrates in the wild but will typically accept frozen foods and eventually pellets without much difficulty in the aquarium.

A very rarely imported Pike Cichlid from Brazil’s Rio Xingu, Lugubria percna was only described scientifically in 1991 and little remains known of its habits or distribution in the wild. Like most other species found in this warm, fast-moving, clear water river, they are well adapted for life in the rocky rapids and will do best with strong current and plenty of rockwork or caves in the aquarium. With their distinctive protruding lower jaw and lightning fast reflexes, this species is likely an ambush predator in the wild, hiding out among the rocks to await smaller fish swimming above them in open water to prey on. In the aquarium, they require warm (82F+) well-oxygenated water and should receive regular large water changes to ensure optimal water quality. Ideal tankmates would include many of the medium to large pleco species found in the same river or some of the medium growing Myleus, Metynnis, or Leporinus species also at home in fast-moving waters.

The XIngu II Pike Cichlid is a rarely imported, as yet undescribed species of Crenicichla found in the warm, fast-moving waters of the middle and lower Rio Xingu and its tributaries in Brazil. A member of the so-called lugubris group of Pike Cichlids, this is a large growing predatory species typically found in open waters where they feed on smaller fish and invertebrates. It can be distinguished from similar species like the Xingu I by its lack of distinct black horizontal striping as juveniles and by the black patches behind the eye and on the gill cover displayed by mature adults. In the aquarium, they require warm (82F+), well-oxygenated water and should receive regular large water changes to ensure optimal water quality. Ideal tankmates would include many of the medium to large pleco species found in the same river or some of the medium growing Myleus, Metynnis, or Leporinus species also at home in fast-moving waters.

The Flameback Bleeding Heart Tetra is a beautifully colored close relative to the more well-known common Bleeding Heart found in the middle Rio Negro in Brazil, where it inhabits soft, acidic blackwater creeks and shallows and is typically found in large shoals. As their name implies, this species can be distinguished by the deep red iridescent streak extending across their dorsal surface, which is particularly prominent on mature fish. A medium to large species of tetra, they are best kept in groups of 5 or more and make an impressive centerpiece for a medium to large planted aquarium.

The Rio Negro Rummynose Tetra is a species of the aquarium hobby classic and the most colorful of three species regularly traded as “Rummynose Tetra” in the hobby and trade. Found only in Brazil’s Rio Negro and its tributaries, this species displays deep vivid red coloration extending as far back as the pectoral fins in most specimens. Like the other more commonly imported species it has been popular with generations of aquarium keepers due to its high contrast coloration, peaceful nature, and active schooling behavior. Their characteristic red “nose” is a good indicator of water quality as it will be most vibrant when the fish are healthy and in warm, slightly acidic water. Best kept in groups of 10 or more fish, they make ideal inhabitants for medium to large planted tanks.
Wild Rummynose Tetras and other fish collected from the middle Rio Negro in Brazil help support the sustainable aquarium fishery in the region which has been the focus of Project Piaba for over 25 years.

The High Fin Mystus or Silver Lancer Catfish is a striking, rarely encountered bagrid cat found in the major freshwater rivers of Thailand, typically in waters with moderate depth and current. As their common name suggests, their most prominent feature is an extremely elongated dorsal fin, the exact purpose of which in is unknown. This medium growing catfish is peaceful and with their relatively small mouths pose little threat to tankmates with the exception of very small fish or invertebrates. In the aquarium, they should be given plenty of open swimming space and do best on a substrate of fine sand, which they will sift through to find food.

The Glass Albino Iridescent Shark is a newly developed strain of the popular aquarium catfish marketed as a freshwater “shark” due to its tall dorsal fin and shark-like swimming pattern. This color morph features a semi-transparent body with caramel colored stripes against a typical pinkish albino body coloration. Although this species remains popular in the hobby, it is a freshwater giant, able to reach over 30″ in captivity and requires the largest of aquariums or ideally an indoor/tropical pond to maintain long term. Hardy and adaptable, they get along with most tankmates but are easily spooked and should be provided with ample cover and relatively dim lighting in the aquarium.

A rarely seen and attractively patterned Dolphin or Duckbill catfish of the genus Ageneiosus, the Orinoco Dolphin Cat is known only from the Orinoco and its tributaries in Colombia and Venezuela. This species can be distinguished from others in its genus by its base yellowish coloration and distinctive broken stripes that typically extend to the caudal fin. In the aquarium they are hardy and adaptable, but will do best with plenty of plants or driftwood for cover. While they are peaceful towards similarly sized tankmates they will eat any fish that can fit in their large mouths.

A popular brackish water aquarium fish, the Mono argenteus or Moony is an extremely widespread fish found throughout the Indo-Pacific region and Africa. This species is amphidromous, which means they regularly move between freshwater in marine habitats. Although they are sometimes marketed as a freshwater fish (and can be kept as such as juveniles), Monos will do best in brackish or marine aquariums. Although juvenile Monos can tolerate pure freshwater for a while, they will need to be transferred to a brackish or full marine aquarium later in life. A social fish often found in large aggregations, they do well in groups of 5 or more.

An unusual, large growing catfish found in most larger bodies of freshwater in Southeast Asia, the Blue Sheatfish or Bleeker’s Sheathfish is an important food fish throughout its native range. As an active open water species of catfish, it is typically found in rivers with moderate to strong flow and undertakes large migrations in the wild influenced by the region’s annual flooding pattern. A predator, they are something of a generalist feeder and will typically accept frozen and prepared foods. In an appropriately large aquarium, they are an impressive, showy fish which will rarely bother tankmates too large to be eaten and prefer at least moderate water movement.
