  • Modifications of the Digestive Tract for Holding Air in Loricariid and Scoloplacid Catfishes
    Copeia, 1998(3), pp. 663-675 Modifications of the Digestive Tract for Holding Air in Loricariid and Scoloplacid Catfishes JONATHAN W. ARMBRUSTER Loricariid catfishes have evolved several modifications of the digestive tract that • appear to fWIction as accessory respiratory organs or hydrostatic organs. Adapta­ tions include an enlarged stomach in Pterygoplichthys, Liposan:us, Glyptoperichthys, Hemiancistrus annectens, Hemiancistrus maracaiboensis, HyposWmus panamensis, and Lithoxus; a U-shaped diverticulum in Rhinelepis, Pseudorinelepis, Pogonopoma, and Po­ gonopomoides; and a ringlike diverticulum in Otocinclus. Scoloplacids, closely related to loricariids, have enlarged, clear, air-filled stomachs similar to that of Lithoxus. The ability to breathe air in Otocinclus was confirmed; the ability of Lithoxus and Scoloplax to breathe air is inferred from morphology. The diverticula of Pogonopomoides and Pogonopoma are similar to swim bladders and may be used as hydrostatic organs. The various modifications of the stomach probably represent characters that define monophyletic clades. The ovaries of Lithoxus were also examined and were sho~ to have very few (15--17) mature eggs that were large (1.6-2.2 mm) for the small size of the fish (38.6-41.4 mm SL). Los bagres loricariid an desarrollado varias modificaciones del canal digestivo que aparentan fWIcionar como organos accesorios de respiracion 0 organos hidrostati­ cos. Las adaptaciones incluyen WI estomago agrandado en Pterygoplichthys, Liposar­ cus, Glyproperichthys, Hemiancistrus annectens, Hemiancistrus maracaiboensis, Hyposto­ mus panamensis, y Lithoxus; WI diverticulum en forma de U en Rhinelepis, Pseudori­ nelepis, Pogonopoma, y Pogonopomoides; y WI diverticulum en forma de circulo en Otocinclus. Scoloplacids, de relacion cercana a los loricariids, tienen estomagos cla­ ros, agrandados, llenos de aire similares a los de Lithoxus.

  • Hardy Tetra Community Aquarium
    Elmer’s Aquarium Community Tank Ideas Tank Size: 10 gal or more H ardy Tetra Community Aquarium Why Keep Them? This community is our most popular community tank for beginners with tanks of 10 to 30 gallons. Tetras represent a large group of fish, and many of them make great choices for a beginner’s community tank. Many tetras are active, colorful, hardy and get along well with other tank mates. Housing: This community tank is suitable for tanks of 10 gallon and up. Filtration can include an AquaClear power filter with a supplemental air pump and sponge filter. They like to swim in the middle water layers. Provide some bushy plants (live or plastic) toward the rear of the tank, and leave the front open for swimming. Water Conditions: Temperature 74-80. pH- (6.6-7.2) Use Seachem Neutral Regulator with each partial water change. Live Plants: Live plants are highly recommended for this community, but not required. Live plants will help bring out the best coloration and behavior in these fish as well as maintain optimal tank conditions. Feeding: Feed this community two to three small feedings per day. Feed flakes, small pellets, and some assorted frozen foods such as mysis shrimp for the most nutrition. How Many? Tetras, Danios, Rasboras, Barbs, Moons and Swordtails are schooling fish and should be bought in groups of at least 3 or more. Tank Mates: Choose other fish of similar size and temperament. Our staff can help you find them in our store. Tetras: Black Skirt Tetra, White Skirt Tetra, Serpae Tetra, Glowlight Tetra, Flame Von Rio Tetra, Bleeding Heart Tetra, Pristella Tetra, Black Phantom Tetra, Red Phantom Tetra, Silver Tip Tetra, Red Eye Tetra, Gold Tetra, Diamond Tetra, Emperor Tetra, GloFish Tetra, Bloodfin Tetra, Head & Tail Light Tetra, Rasboras: Harlequin Rasbora, Brilliant Rasbora, Scissortail Rasbora.

  • Microlepidogaster Discontenta, a New Species of Hypoptopomatine Catfish (Teleostei: Loricariidae) from the Rio São Francisco Basin, Brazil
    213 Ichthyol. Explor. Freshwaters, Vol. 25, No. 3, pp. 213-221, 4 figs., 2 tabs., December 2014 © 2014 by Verlag Dr. Friedrich Pfeil, München, Germany – ISSN 0936-9902 Microlepidogaster discontenta, a new species of hypoptopomatine catfish (Teleostei: Loricariidae) from the rio São Francisco basin, Brazil Bárbara B. Calegari*, **, Ellen V. Silva* and Roberto E. Reis* Microlepidogaster discontenta, new species, is described from a creek tributary to the upper rio São Francisco basin, central Brazil, and constitutes the first record of the genus in that basin. It is distinguished from all congeners mainly by the odontodes on the caudal peduncle being conspicuously arranged in longitudinal lines (vs. odontodes on the caudal peduncle not arranged in longitudinal lines); and shorter pectoral-pelvic fins distance. Addition- ally, the new species differs from all congeners except M. longicolla by having a wide naked area on the snout tip (vs. an inconspicuous naked area or a rostral plate). Microlepidogaster discontenta is further distinguished from its congeners by a series of proportional measurements of the body and osteological features. Um novo cascudinho, Microlepidogaster discontenta, é descrito de um riacho tributário da bacia do alto rio São Francisco, Brasil central, constituindo-se no primeiro registro desse gênero nesta bacia. A nova espécie é distin- guida de todos os seus congêneres principalmente por possuir os odontódeos no pedúnculo caudal conspicua- mente arranjados em linhas longitudinais (vs. odontódeos no pedúnculo caudal não arranjados em linhas longi- tunais); e menor distância entre as nadadeiras peitoral e pélvica. Adicionalmente, a nova espécie difere de todos os seus congêneres, exceto M. longicolla, por possuir uma grande área nua na ponta do focinho (vs.

  • Tetra (Paracheirodon Axelrodi, Characidae) in Its Natural Habitat
    The food spectrum of the cardinal - tetra (Paracheirodon axelrodi, Characidae) in its natural habitat. Ilse WALKER1 ABSTRACT The cardinal tetra (Paracheirodon axelrodi) is the most intensively commercialized ornamental fish from the Rio Negro Basin (Amazonas State, Brasil). Analysis of the stomach and gut contents of fish caught in their natural habitats show conclusively that the cardinal is essentially a predator, feeding on the mesofauna that adheres to submerged litter, roots and waterplants. Microcrustacea and chironomid larvae (Diptera) were the most frequently ingested prey, while algae intake was relatively infrequent. It is argued that the relatively small size of the cardinals captured in their natural habitat is due to the annual migrations imposed by the inundation cycles, rather than to resource limitation, because it is known from earlier investigations of similar habitats, that these plant substrates are densely colonized by the aquatic mesofauna. Cardinals raised in captivity are larger and have higher rates of growth. KEY WORDS Rio Negro, cardinal, diet. Estratégias alimentares do cardinal-tetra (Paracheirodon axelrodi, Characidae) em seu ambiente natural. RESUMO O cardinal (Paracheirodon axelrodi) é o peixe ornamental comercializado com maior intensidade na Bacia do Rio Negro (Estado do Amazonas, Brasil). Análise do conteúdo estomacal de peixes capturados nos seus habitats naturais mostra, que o cardinal é essencialmente um predador, alimentando-se da mesofauna que está colonizando a liteira submersa, arbustos submersos, raízes flutuantes e plantas aquáticas. As presas principais são microcrustáceos e larvas de quironomídeos (Chironomidae, Diptera), enquanto ingestão de algas é pouco freqüente. Considera-se que o tamanho relativamente pequeno de cardinais capturados nos ambientes naturais é devido as migrações anuais que acompanham os ciclos anuais de enchente e vazante, e não à falta de recursos; já que é conhecido de ambientes parecidos de outros rios da região, que estes substratos aquáticos são densamente colonizados pela mesofauna.

G. de Brito and Érica P. Caramaschi We report here on an albino specimen of Schizolecis guntheri caught in the rio Bonito in the rio Macaé basin, Rio de Janeiro State, southeastern Brazil. The hypothesis that albinism is more common in fishes with cryptobiotic and/or nocturnal habits is strengthened by additional records of this chromatic anomaly. Relatamos aqui o albinismo em um espécime de Schizolecis guntheri capturado no rio Bonito na bacia do rio Macaé, estado do Rio de Janeiro.

  • A New Species of Microlepidogaster (Siluriformes: Loricariidae: Hypoptopomatinae) from the Upper Rio Paraná Basin, Brazil
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 8(3):625-630, 2010 Copyright © 2010 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia A new species of Microlepidogaster (Siluriformes: Loricariidae: Hypoptopomatinae) from the upper rio Paraná basin, Brazil Bárbara B. Calegari and Roberto E. Reis Microlepidogaster longicolla, new species, is described from the rio São João of the upper rio Paraná basin near Brasília, in central Brazil. The new species differs from M. perforatus, the only other species in this genus, by having a continuous lateral line, median lateral plate series reaching, rather than falling short of, the end of the caudal peduncle, a shorter pectoral-fin spine (13.4-16.2 vs. 18.2-21.0% standard length), a smaller interorbital distance (38.9-43.1 vs. 47.7-53.3% head length), and more numerous dentary teeth (16-29 vs. 12-15), in addition to several osteological features. Microlepidogaster longicolla shows a remarkable suite of secondary sexually dimorphic characters, involving the presence of a conical urogenital papilla in males, the presence of a fleshy flap along the dorsal margin of first thickened pelvic-fin ray of males, longer pelvic fin in males, and a more strongly arched first pelvic-fin ray in females. Microlepidogaster longicolla, espécie nova, é descrita do rio São João da bacia superior do rio Paraná próximo a Brasília, no Brasil central. A espécie nova difere de M. perforatus, a única outra espécie do gênero, por ter linha lateral contínua, série média de placas laterais chegando até o final do pedúnculo caudal, menor espinho da nadadeira peitoral (13,4-16,2 vs. 18,2-21,0% do comprimento padrão), menor distância interorbital (38,9-43,1 vs.
