  • Year of the Catfish with the Intention of Writing an Article Relating to Some Aspect of Catfish in the Aquarium on a Monthly Basis
    YYeeaarr ooff tthhee CCaattffiisshh A monthly column about Catfish Talking... (Doradidae) by Derek Tustin (Author’s Note: I started The Year of the Catfish with the intention of writing an article relating to some aspect of Catfish in the aquarium on a monthly basis. Last month, April 2013, I did not. I know this caused a bit of consternation on the part of Klaus Steinhaus, the editor of Tank Talk, and he had to find another article to fill the space. As such, I offer both he and the readers of Tank Talk my sincere apologies and to make up for it, give you a double helping of The Year of the Catfish this month. – Derek P.S. Tustin) o you have that one fish species of fish that you have Agamyxis pectinifrons D an unbridled affinity for? That one special species that just strikes a chord with you that you want to keep no matter what? Perhaps something that you have kept every time the opportunity presents? I think we all have a small group of species that no matter how unattractive other aquarists may find them, we want to keep them. I think you all know by now my absolute fascination with rainbowfish, and the extent that I am willing to go to obtain certain species. Given that, you might be surprised to know that my “soft-spot species” isn’t a rainbowfish, but rather a catfish, specifically the White-Spotted Doradid, Agamyxis pectinifrons. (Or it actually might be… but I’ll get to that in a bit.) Agamyxis pectinifrons is a member of the Doradidae family.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships of the South American Doradoidea (Ostariophysi: Siluriformes)
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 12(3): 451-564, 2014 Copyright © 2014 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia DOI: 10.1590/1982-0224-20120027 Phylogenetic relationships of the South American Doradoidea (Ostariophysi: Siluriformes) José L. O. Birindelli A phylogenetic analysis based on 311 morphological characters is presented for most species of the Doradidae, all genera of the Auchenipteridae, and representatives of 16 other catfish families. The hypothesis that was derived from the six most parsimonious trees support the monophyly of the South American Doradoidea (Doradidae plus Auchenipteridae), as well as the monophyly of the clade Doradoidea plus the African Mochokidae. In addition, the clade with Sisoroidea plus Aspredinidae was considered sister to Doradoidea plus Mochokidae. Within the Auchenipteridae, the results support the monophyly of the Centromochlinae and Auchenipterinae. The latter is composed of Tocantinsia, and four monophyletic units, two small with Asterophysus and Liosomadoras, and Pseudotatia and Pseudauchenipterus, respectively, and two large ones with the remaining genera. Within the Doradidae, parsimony analysis recovered Wertheimeria as sister to Kalyptodoras, composing a clade sister to all remaining doradids, which include Franciscodoras and two monophyletic groups: Astrodoradinae (plus Acanthodoras and Agamyxis) and Doradinae (new arrangement). Wertheimerinae, new subfamily, is described for Kalyptodoras and Wertheimeria. Doradinae is corroborated as monophyletic and composed of four groups, one including Centrochir and Platydoras, the other with the large-size species of doradids (except Oxydoras), another with Orinocodoras, Rhinodoras, and Rhynchodoras, and another with Oxydoras plus all the fimbriate-barbel doradids. Based on the results, the species of Opsodoras are included in Hemidoras; and Tenellus, new genus, is described to include Nemadoras trimaculatus, N.

Researchers have argued that those sounds are aimed at different receivers (predators) in different media. The aim of this study was to analyse sounds, compare characteristics of sounds emitted in both media in order to investigate the functional significance of distress sounds. Methodology/Principal Findings: Five representatives of the family Doradidae (Agamyxis pectinifrons, Amblydoras affinis, Hemidoras morrisi, Megalodoras uranoscopus and Oxydoras niger) were investigated. Fish were hand-held and sounds emitted in air and underwater were recorded. The following sound characteristics were analyzed - number of sounds, sound duration, dominant and fundamental frequency, sound pressure level and peak- to-peak amplitudes - and compared between media.

  • Siluriformes: Doradidae)
    Copeia, 2007(3), pp. 672–684 New Species of Rhynchodoras from the Rı´o Orinoco, Venezuela, with Comments on the Genus (Siluriformes: Doradidae) JOSE´ L. O. BIRINDELLI,MARK H. SABAJ, AND DONALD C. TAPHORN A new species of proboscoid thornycat, Rhynchodoras castilloi, is described from the Rı´o Apure, Orinoco basin, Venezuela. The new species is distinguished from R. woodsi (Essequibo and Amazon basins minus Xingu and Tocantins basins) by having a simple gas bladder (vs. each posterior chamber of gas bladder expanded into elongate horn- like diverticulum) and tubercles punctate and abundant (vs. tubercles elongate, dash- like, and sparse). The new species is distinguished from R. xingui (Xingu and Tocantins basins) by having all three tympanal scutes weakly developed (vs. second and particularly third well developed, latter with medial carina), midlateral scutes modally 35 per side, range 34–36 (vs. 34, range 33–34), and anterior midlateral scutes relatively shallow, depth about one-fifth (vs. about one-third to one-quarter) of corresponding body depth, with weakly developed dorsal and ventral laminae lacking distinct serrations along posterior margins (vs. dorsal and ventral laminae of midlateral scutes well developed with conspicuously serrated posterior margins). The type species, R. xingui, is distinguished from R. woodsi by having a simple gas bladder (vs. with two posterior horn-like diverticula), midlateral scutes modally 34 per side, range 33–34 (vs. 35, range 34–37), and anterior midlateral scutes with conspicuous medial thorns (vs. thorns absent or weak, procumbent). Notable features of the genus are discussed, including jaw and gas bladder morphology, development of anterior nuchal plate, presence of multiple pores in skin beneath postcleithral process, and tubercle morphology and distribution.
