L-Numbers – not only from clear water
In this talk I sum up some rare L-Numbers and Plecos of the last years.
Most of them arrived Europe just in small numbers, like Panaqolus sp. (L 482) where just 13 specimen arrived us. I‘ll present these fishes and also some biotopes where they live. This talk will contain fishes from French-Guyana, Brazil, Perú and some other southamerican countries.

Spawning of plecos – basics and examples
This talk is to explain the basics of breeding plecos. I‘ll start with their natural habitats. Afterwards I‘ll give information about their care and the most important requirements for spawning plecos. Also breeding and and overview of useful accessories for that will be shown. After that I‘ll present spawning logs of specific species as some examples. At the end you will see international keeping and breeding installations and I‘ll explain, based on my own installation, how you can keep, spawn and breed plecos in an efficient and energy saving way…

Perú – Expeditions in the amazonian lowlands
In 2012 I‘ve completed a group of three aquarists to go to the amazonian lowlands in Perú. We have visited the best known rivers like the Itaya, Momon, and Nanay rivers. Furthermore we‘ve made an expedition to the Tapiche river.
On these trips we‘ve caught many different catfishes like plecos (esp. Panaqolus),
whiptails and Corys, but also dwarf cichlids like Apistogramma, and tetras and larger cichlids, too. Additionally we have visited some exporters of ornamental fish that I will show, too.
