The water was very soft, and added water with a hardness about 4-6 That might have something to do with it:) midnight pearl : Most of t...

I lost 3 or 4 fry who were about 1 month old, and I started to smash a couple of tetra tabimin, into powder and gave them that instead and dropped the temp from 31 C, to 28 C, and have not lost one fry since then...

The lack of food, or wrong kind of food was the reason in my case...

Protruding eyes are often associated with swollen bellies..is it swollen? If so..it might be bacterial infection ( dropsy) The eyes can become cloudy due to extra slime (mucus) being formed on the outside as a result of a skin irritation caused by parasites or poor water quality. The red spot is mos...

check also the L82 - which is more rounded on the nose. Have you managed to see what its "teeth" / rasping plates look like? That usually is a good indication. If you get a chance can you get a couple of clear pictures of yours, dorsal view? But the head must show .. I got an idea :wink: ...

In the post on planetcatfish and GOC, Yann and Janne thinks this is Hypancistrus Sp 201. Reason : The bodyshape is similar, and they are also exported often as L007 and L240 as the wholesale dealer view them as young edtion of galaxias. I wonder if anyone could confirm this? http://www.planetcatfish...

Do you have a pic of the mouth? Well the fish above was sold to me as an LDA33 - got 3 of them. The reason I thought of this is the ventral view of your fish, looks very similar to mine. If that is the case I would say your fish is more of a Baryancistrus species - but lets wait and see the new pics...
