Here is a Gastromyzon ctenocephalus that shares the tank with the portly G. ocellatus whose pics grace previous posts.
I need to get a side shot to show just how wide she is.

It is great to see your fish after such a long absence of pics.

Can you do us an inventory of all that you're keeping at the moment? Pretty please!

Very impressive, Jim, thanks for that.

There is the possibilty for LOTS more photos!

Thanks!

My top priorities are photos of my HUGE female H. smithi that makes the one that appeared in the loach book look like a baby, and the gorgeous male smithi in the same tank, the oddball Homaloptera that is like the one Emma has, and the new heavily striped gastros I just got. A pic of my shy Sinogastros and 3" H. zollingeri would be nice too.

When I get the flashlight out, or move their hiding places.

Its such a shame because they are beautiful fish and the ones I have are very large specimens.

How big are they? Sorry, I am off topic.

I know they are one of many catfish called Bumblebee Catfish, aren't they? I have three I see very infrequently -- maybe not the same species, but similar.

This is my species, the South American Bumblebee catfish

Mine are full size at about 2.5" with those cute little catfish pot bellies.
