Flat-head cascade, Callichthys callichthys. [“http://nas.er.usgs.gov/queries/factsheet.aspx?SpeciesID=335”, Downloaded 10th October 2011] TRAITS. Was first described by Linnaeus in 1758 and was named Silurus callichthys. They generally reach a maximum length of 20 cm and can weigh up to 80g.(Froese and Pauly, 2001) The females are generally larger and more robust as compared to the males. The Callichthys callichthys is an elongated catfish with a straight or flattened belly profile. It also has a broad flattened head and a body which is almost uniform in breath with some posterior tapering which beings after dorsal fin. (Figure 2) Its body consists of 2 rows of overlapping plates or scutes. Approximately 26 – 29 scutes seen on the upper lateral series and 25 – 28 scutes seen on the lower lateral series. The fins are rounded and the fish also has a total of 6-8 soft dorsal rays. It also has 2 pairs of maxillary barbles near its mouth and small eyes. The fish has an inferior type mouth ( Berra, 2007). The Callichthys callichthys is dark olive green in colour to a grey brown as seen in Figure 1, with the males having a blue to violet sheen on its flanks. ECOLOGY. Callichthys callichthys is a freshwater organism which is primarily riverine in habitat (Arratia, 2003). Only 2 families of catfishes are found to colonise marine habitats UWI The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago Behaviour (Arratia, 2003).

    Neotropical Ichthyology, 1(2):83-91, 2003 Copyright © 2003 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia Corydoras tukano, a new species of corydoradine catfish from the rio Tiquié, upper rio Negro basin, Brazil (Ostariophysi: Siluriformes: Callichthyidae) Marcelo R. Britto* and Flávio C.T. Lima** A new Corydoras species from the rio Tiquié, upper rio Negro system, Amazonas, Brazil, is described. This taxon was previously referred to as “Corydoras species ‘Asher’”, “Corydoras cf. reynoldsi”, and “Corydoras aff. reynoldsi” in the aquarist literature. The new taxon can be distinguished from all its congeners, except Corydoras reynoldsi and C. weitzmani, by its color pattern, consisting of three large, dark blotches, the first one (“mask”) on the head, across the eye; the second one on the trunk at the level of dorsal fin; and the third one on the trunk at the level of the adipose fin. It can be distinguished from Corydoras reynoldsi mainly by the development of trunk blotches; and from C. weitzmani by the presence of a dusky saddle between the dorsal and adipose fins, the second trunk blotch extending vertically from the adipose-fin base to the anal-fin base, and the presence of four dark stripes in the caudal fin. Uma nova espécie de Corydoras do rio Tiquié, bacia do alto rio Negro, estado do Amazonas, Brasil, é descrita. Este táxon foi anteriormente citado na literatura aquarista como “Corydoras species ‘Asher’”, “Corydoras cf. reynoldsi” e “Corydoras aff. reynoldsi”. O novo táxon pode ser distinguido de todos seus congêneres, exceto Corydoras reynoldsi e C. weitzmani, por seu padrão de colorido, que consiste em três grandes manchas pretas, a primeira (“máscara”) na cabeça, através do olho; a segunda no tronco, no nível da nadadeira dorsal; e a terceira no tronco, no nível da nadadeira adiposa.

Abstract: This study compared the parasites community in Corydoras ephippifer, Corydoras melanistius, Corydoras amapaensis and Corydoras spilurus from tributaries from the Amapari River in State of Amapá (Brazil). A total of 151 fish of these four ornamental species were examined, of which 66.2% were parasitized by one or more species, and a total of 732 parasites were collected. Corydoras ephippifer (91.2%) and C. spilurus (98.8%) were the most parasitized hosts, while C. amapaensis (9.6%) was the least parasitized. A high similarity (≅ 75%) of parasite communities was found in the host species.

    Volume 64, Issue 8 November, 2020 London Aquaria Society www.londonaquariasociety.com I Have a Monster in my Aquarium. What is it? www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=35468.0 A monster's moved itself into my house and I've not even shagged it. I have a small indoor heated aquarium which fits within a picture frame and hangs on the wall of my living room. The tank is about 2.5 foot long by about 18 inches high by about 2 or 3 inches deep and is fully enclosed in a wooden frame. It contains guppies and a lot of weed and snails. A couple of weeks ago I saw what I thought was a spider drowning, thrashing/swimming in the tank. I tried to fish it out but it buried itself in the gravel and I lost it. A few hours later I was amazed to see it sitting in the weed. Upon closer examination I could see it has six legs, clearly has a head, abdomen and thorax, has a laterally flattened body and it’s abdomen was pulsating, presumably to facilitate breathing. It was then about 10mm long but is now about 15. No fish seem to be disappearing and I have a number of baby guppies which are smaller than it is. But I suspect it is eating snails. I assume it is an insect larva and was probably introduced on the weed, possibly as an egg. But since it is a tropical tank I have no idea whether the weed is of native or foreign origin.

    YUK MENGENAL IKAN TIKUS, SI IKAN PEMALU (02 Jan 2018)

    YUK MENGENAL IKAN TIKUS, SI IKAN PEMALU (02 Jan 2018) YUK MENGENAL IKAN TIKUS, SI IKAN PEMALU Ikan tikus disebut juga bronze catfish atau armoured catfish, memiliki nama ilmiah Corydora. Disebut ikan tikus karena ikan ini memiliki sifat pemalu, sama seperti tikus yang ketakutan ketika terlihat manusia. Ikan corydoras merupakan golongan ikan omnivora dan bersifat bottom feeder (pemakan biota dasar). Ikan corydoras berasal dari perairan Amerika Selatan dan telah dibudidayakan di seluruh dunia dengan banyak speises. Dalam penelitian terakhir, dijelaskan bahwa terdapat 120 spesies ikan Corydoras, namun hanya beberapa spesies yang sudah di budidayakan diperairan Indonesia. Dengan semakin maraknya para pecinta ikan hias, maka permintaan ikan jenis Corydoras ini juga semakin banyak. Oleh karenanya, sebagai para penghobi ikan hias dan pembudidaya ikan Corydoras harus memiliki pengetahuan tentang pemeliharaan ikan ini. Dalam artikel kali ini, kita akan membahas seputar ikan corydoras. Mulai dari morfologi, tingkah laku, perawatan dan dari segi kesehatannya. Jenis-Jenis Ikan Corydoras di Indonesia 1.
